Transforming Lives
Rappahannock Community College is transforming lives and breaking down barriers to education across Virginia’s Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. This is made possible through the generous support of our donors and community partners.
RCC’s Educational Foundation, Inc., (RCC EFI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the mission of RCC to strengthen our community, transform lives, and inspire excellence. We support initiatives that develop students’ skills, confidence, and employability, transforming their lives and the lives of their family members.
The Foundation serves
- RCC students through scholarships and program funding
- Faculty and staff professional development and program funds
- Lifelong learners through the Rappahannock Institute for Lifelong Learning
- The larger community by providing financial and partnership resources to meet strategic goals
The Foundation offices are housed in the historic Chinn House on the Warsaw campus.
Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday 8 am to 5 pm, and Fridays from 8 am to 12 pm.
RCC EFI is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing the 12 counties that RCC serves.
