HOW TO GIVE

Low-income students are often denied the same opportunities to earn a degree as their more affluent peers. Did you know that in the US a mere 21% of low-income, first-generation students who enroll in college earn a bachelor’s degree within 6 years?

Friends like you make College Visions possible. When you make a donation, you ensure that low-income, first-generation young people enroll in college, persist to graduation, and earn college degrees. Your support empowers students to realize the promise of higher education and build a healthy future for their families and communities for generations to come.

“I chose to give back to College Visions because I have a moral obligation to acknowledge the place that helped me to achieve so much. Without their guidance, I am not sure what my trajectory would be at this moment in time. Donating to CV means I’m helping to fulfill the mission of creating a sustainable pipeline that propels students, like myself, to achieve the success that they deserve.”

Kevin (URI ’15), CV alumni & donor

“CV provides an invaluable resource to the community. Education provides a path towards economic freedom. Supporting those who may otherwise not find the path to college helps not only the students, but the wider community.”

Jim Olick, CV donor

“We believe that educational access and equity are paramount. We recognize that not all parents and school systems can provide all of the needed resources themselves. CV is an organization that is responding to a need that first generation families and communities are often unable to provide. We donate because CV is making this vision of access a possibility in Providence and pushing other communities to consider doing the same. Our hope is that there would be CVs in every community across the country.”
