VCC Foundation

VCC helps students gain the skills and knowledge to make a difference in the world.

VCC's impact is everywhere: in hospitals, hotels, restaurants and automotive repair shops. By educating and training our future employees and employers, we play a key role in the economic vitality of Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and the entire province. We are transforming lives and communities.

VCC is ready to meet the challenges of the future. We must continue to innovate, provide relevant education and develop in ways to maximize the benefits to everyone involved.

To do that, we need you.


The VCC Foundation

The VCC Foundation exists to help you in your support for our students. By helping them reach their goals and realize their dreams, we can better our communities.

Each donation made to the foundation has an impact. Without the generosity of donors who fund scholarships and bursaries, many students would be unable to complete their post-secondary education. Contributions to our Vision for the Future capital campaign are helping to provide new learning spaces, and donations of equipment provide current technology for student learning.

The Foundation seeks to stimulate financial support for the students and programs at VCC, to ensure the prudent management of funds received and to encourage the community's goodwill toward the college. It is a registered non-profit organization with a volunteer board of directors.
