The RCCD Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1975 to raise and manage private donations that benefit RCCD and its colleges, students, and programs. This goal is accomplished by building partnerships with alumni, friends, and the business community to explore philanthropic opportunities and inspire giving. The Foundation is professionally managed by staff who are experts in the field of philanthropy and is overseen by a committed volunteer Board of Directors. Foundation activities are primarily focused on supporting the strategic priority initiatives as defined by the Chancellor and College Presidents. The Foundation also provides guidance, consultation and oversight of all fundraising activities District-wide.

Mission Statement. The RCCD Foundation raises and manages private donations to support the students, programs, and faculty of the RCCD Colleges – Moreno Valley College, Norco College, and Riverside City College.
