Where To Give
WES
Women's Educational Success (WES) provides a safety net to Cabrillo College students who have an emergency expense, such as a textbook, car repair, or childcare. Students receive this aid within two weeks. More than 100 students each year receive grants up to $750 that help them to stay in school.
President’s Circle
The President’s Circle offers an opportunity to join a distinguished group of alumni and friends whose annual support of $1,000 or more makes a crucial difference to our students.
Each year, President’s Circle members support the Cabrillo Foundation operations and enable the foundation to raise money to support scholarships, faculty and departments at Cabrillo.

Emergency Grants
We are awarding $500 grants for students impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. These grants are made possible thanks to generous donors in the community. They are not loans and will not need to be repaid. It is our hope that this helps our students through this difficult time and that you are able to continue your studies at Cabrillo.
