Annual Fund
The CCLC Annual Fund provides the flexible support that keeps our classrooms thriving every day. Gifts to the Annual Fund help us meet our greatest needs, ensuring that children receive exceptional care, families have access to tuition assistance, and educators have the resources they need to create meaningful learning experiences.
Annual Fund gifts allow CCLC to respond where support is needed most—from classroom materials and healthy meals to outdoor learning opportunities, teacher development, and family scholarships.
Every gift, regardless of size, strengthens the foundation of our work and helps ensure that children in our community have a safe, nurturing place to learn, grow, and belong.
Annual Fund gifts support:
Tuition assistance for families
Classroom materials and enrichment
Healthy meals and snacks
Outdoor learning and exploration
Professional development for educators
Start Here. Grow Here.
As CCLC celebrates 50 years of serving children and families in Rappahannock County, we are looking ahead to the future.
Start Here. Grow Here. is CCLC's vision for the next 50 years. This initiative will expand access to high-quality early childhood education while building stronger supports for children with developmental delays, disabilities, and other specialized needs. By investing in inclusion, early intervention, and family support, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to begin their educational journey with the foundation they deserve.
50 for 50 Leadership Circle
To launch this effort, we are seeking 50 donors to make a leadership gift of $5,000 or more in honor of CCLC's 50th anniversary. These gifts will help create lasting impact for children and families in our community and build a stronger foundation for the next generation.
Join us as we celebrate our past and invest in CCLC's future.
