JCCC Crowdfunding is an online fundraising tool created by the JCCC Foundation that allows programs and students to create and share fundraising campaigns with an engaged community. This Crowdfunding platform can empower the entire JCCC Community to come together and create lasting impact on projects we are passionate about.
All of our programs or student groups can create fundraising campaigns for a particular project with a specific funding goal and project completion timeline. Supporters can contribute to the project financially and are encouraged to share the project with their own community and social network.
