Foundation for California Community Colleges (F.C.C.C.) Facility Program: Saving Community California Community Colleges $$$ on Assessments and Bulk Purchasing.
Chen, Spencer; Toy, Larry
The Foundation for California Community Colleges (FCCC) is a non-profit foundation whose mission is to support the California Community College (CCC) system and to save the CCC money. FCCC is the official auxiliary to the Board of Governors, the Chancellor's office, and the system of 108 colleges of the CCC. This document provides details on the CCCs, FCCC, and FCCC's facilities program, "facilitybuys.com." Consistent with the CCC system priorities, the primary goals of FCCC are to (1) generate and provide substantial financial and in-kind support to the CCC system; (2) substantially reduce operational, equipment, and other costs for the CCC through establishing and maintaining a Higher Education Cooperative Purchase Consortium, facilitating private sector partnerships, and assisting in the development of partnerships between CCC colleges/districts and businesses/industries; (3) partner with and provide support to the local CCC foundations and the Network of NCCCFs; and (4) promote and support programs that increase access to and improve effectiveness of the CCCs, especially in the areas of technology, access, and competency. By pooling the negotiating and purchasing power and collective knowledge of the individual CCCs, districts, and a number of other institutions of higher education and K-12, FCCC has been able to save approximately $4 million for the CCCs during the first year of the program.
