Advancement Information

Welcome to the web site of the West Valley-Mission Advancement Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to raising funds for the support of programs that benefit the students of West Valley College in Saratoga and Mission College in Santa Clara. Examples of these programs include the renovation of the Theater at West Valley College and the building of a High Tech Student Center at Mission College.

We'd Like to invite you to join us in supporting these important institutions of higher learning. Each year more than 20,000 people enroll at West Valley and Mission Colleges. These colleges are among Silicon Valley's largest and finest providers of vocational and technical training. Our colleges are also the entry point for higher education and have made it possible for thousands of people to achieve academic and career goals.

As an example of what the Foundation does, you can join us at Mission College in November for the dedication of the High Tech Student Center.

Let us know if you have any suggestions for the site or would like more information. Thank you in advance for your support.
