The DVC Foundation was established in 1974 to support the students, faculty, and staff of Diablo Valley College. Much has changed from our founding, but we remain ready to serve the same groups in new and diverse ways. We still form the main channel of connection between our generous donors and students in need. WHAT WE DO If you believe that education is the way to prepare someone for a better future, join us in the work we do. We support students at Diablo Valley College by providing scholarships, emergency aid, and other financial resources that ease the burden of college costs. The Foundation bridges the gap between potential and opportunity—ensuring that finances aren’t a barrier to academic success. Whether it’s a textbook, tuition payment, or transportation, we help students stay focused on their future. Thank you for all you do! OUR PHILOSOPHY We believe that every student deserves a fair chance to succeed. Education can transform lives, but too often, financial hardship stands in the way. That’s why we’re committed to equity, compassion, and community. Our philosophy revolves around the idea of return and giving back what was given to us. We believe that every student wants the same thing in life: a career, family, connection, and community. If we focus on helping ALL to get that, we become stronger and help make the world a better place. OUR GOALS We have one goal. To improve the lives of our students. We do that through scholarships, but we also offer emergency assistance and help to create new programs and facilities on campus. All programs and scholarships are designed to make a student's journey easier and more rewarding. We are currently aiming to increase the number and impact of scholarships we provide each year, build sustainable funds that support students long-term, and grow our network of donors and partners who share our mission. As we continue to grow, our focus remains clear: help more students, in more meaningful ways, every year. Contact us here for any questions on scholarships or programs!
