Visionaries
Commit to making an impact.
Visionaries are C4K’s most loyal and generous supporters, providing critical support in our financial health and sustainability.
Support over time
Visionaries commit to a particular level of funding for three years. This program allows C4K’s most loyal and generous supporters to play an even more critical role in the financial health and sustainability of C4K. Our Visionaries lead the way in securing C4K’s ability to empower youth to become self-sufficient and reach their full potential.

Empowering students
In Charlottesville and Albemarle County in 2017 there were 5,612 families who earned less than what is needed to survive — they cannot afford housing, food, and utilities. Through no fault of their own, nearly half the children born into these economically disadvantaged families will remain economically disadvantaged all their lives. When parents struggle with poverty, their children face enormous obstacles in completing their education and becoming self-sufficient. With sustained and intentional efforts, like those offered by C4K and supported by our Visionaries, children can escape the cycle of poverty and be guided towards a pathway to self-sufficiency.
Making an impact
The Visionary program provides C4K with the ability to focus on programming that directly meets the needs of low-income youth. The experiences youth have at C4K are life changing. The return on investment for out-of-school time programming has been estimated to be as high as $17 for each dollar invested. Since inception, 97% of youth completing C4K program requirements have graduated high school.
We help underserved youth become content creators, not just content consumers.
We provide equitable access.
We support our community’s economic development by investing in our youth.
