Educational Excellence
The Stanislaus Cradle to Career Partnership is grounded in the belief that no single individual, program, organization, or institution can single-handedly solve the complex education and workforce readiness challenges facing our community. Improving outcomes at scale requires innovation and sustained collaboration across organizations and sectors to achieve significant and lasting impact.
The C2C Fund
Stanislaus Community Foundation launched the C2C Fund in 2020, which pools funds from multiple donors and partners and invests these dollars into proposals that address the five outcome areas of kinder readiness, early literacy, math proficiency, college attainment, and career readiness. The primary goal for the C2C Fund is to advance strategies that get better results faster and to bolster larger partnership initiatives relating to racial equity, mental health, and community powerbuilding. Stanislaus Community Foundation will invest over $600,000 in 2021 towards this collective effort, which will include grants specifically for youth empowerment, dual enrollment expansion, and action team innovations.
Scholarships for Stanislaus Students
This year, thanks to the support of our generous donors, we supported 165 Stanislaus County students with over $329,000 in scholarships. In 2024, we will continue to work to make our scholarships process equitable and accessible to all Stanislaus County students.

This scholarship will allow for me to find a better balance between working full time with overtime, being a mom, and being a fulltime student. Advancing my education at a University close to my home was important to me, as I enjoy being an active part of my community. With your support some of the financial stress has been freed from my family and for that I am so grateful to you.”
