Virginia Community Capital's mission is to create jobs, enhance the quality of life, and promote vibrant communities in Virginia’s underserved markets and regions.
VCC was established in 2006 as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) with an initial $15 million investment under Governor Mark R. Warner. The goal was to leverage that initial investment for an economic return to underserved areas.
Through the power of partnerships and leverage, Virginia Community Capital has turned that $15 million seed investment into over $900 million of impact in Virginia. Over the years, VCC has become known for its ability to combine the resources of national, state, and local social investors into successfully funded projects. We are, many times, the “first in” on projects designed to positively impact their community.
