Blue Ridge Community College Educational Foundation, Inc.
Why We Exist
The mission of the BRCC Educational Foundation is to build community relationships and secure resources to strengthen the programs and services of Blue Ridge Community College. The mission of Blue Ridge Community College is to anticipate the educational needs of the central Shenandoah Valley, providing access to comprehensive programs and services, within an environment of academic excellence.
What We Do
BRCC is supported by local and state funds, as well as tuition and fees. However, you may be unaware that current appropriations provide funding for only the basic operations of the College. These traditional sources of funding have not kept pace with the robust growth of Blue Ridge Community College and the increasing needs of its students and community. The BRCC Educational Foundation seeks out alternative sources of funding to maintain the excellence in education our community expects and deserves.
Who We Serve
The BRCC Educational Foundation supports students enrolled in credit classes and non-credit workforce training and special interest classes, as well as BRCC faculty and staff.
Where We Serve
Why Community Members Support Our Work
Sometimes, in an attempt to determine the value of an organization and its work, it is enlightening to come at it from this perspective: what would be the loss if that organization did not exist? In the case of Blue Ridge Community College, its absence would be significant across the Valley and beyond. Students would go without guidance, training and inspiration. Businesses would miss a partner highly responsive to their industry and workforce needs, as well as the entry of skilled, job-ready employees. Moreover, the Shenandoah Valley would suffer from stagnation and fall behind competing regions, unable to keep pace with the dynamic changes in American enterprise. Blue Ridge Community College is the training ground, the ever-evolving force that matches aspiring students with in-demand industries and 21st-century employers. We are responsive to the needs of our employer base — from healthcare to trucking to manufacturing — with timely curricula and cutting-edge training and facilities. We also provide educational opportunities to those who otherwise might not be able to afford them. Blue Ridge Community College is not going anywhere but up. But we can only do it well, and have the ultimate impact, with your continued support.
