About us
Established on August 20, 1971, the City Colleges of Chicago Foundation exists to secure philanthropic resources to support a wide array of educational programs and services available to City Colleges of Chicago (CCC). The Foundation provides private donors with the opportunity to support the students, alumni, faculty, and staff of City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) through various programs and initiatives. The Foundation is a separate, not-for-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization, governed by an independent board of directors. The Foundation focuses on providing financially for the needs of the City Colleges of Chicago that cannot be met through government funding or student tuition income. CCCF has awarded millions in scholarships since 2010, which has helped support student persistence and completion. Rhonda K. Brown is president of City Colleges of Chicago Foundation. For 22 years, she has been working in the not-for-profit sector-leading advancement initiatives that build capacity and awareness in the arts, healthcare, and higher education.
