Equity Tuition Campaign
Help make CCC accessible to ALL! We believe that all children deserve and benefit from a play-based education and recognize that our community is strongest when we are able to welcome and support families from diverse backgrounds. CCC is in the process of launching Equity Tuition to ensure that all families contribute to our community within their financial means. Families can support the vision of Equity Tuition at CCC by making contributions to the Equity Tuition Fund.
Donate on a one-time, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annual basis. Donations are tax deductible. If you would like to contribute, you can:
Mail us a check to CCC at 1140 Walnut St, Berkeley, CA 94707 – Attention Fundraising/Scholarships. Make sure to include your name, address, email, and class year so that we can properly thank you!
Donate via PayPal (Please add a note/memo “equity tuition campaign”)

Big Tax Savings (and gifts to CCC)
IRA Distributions: IRA owners over 72 and owners of inherited IRAs have to take a required minimum distribution each year. You pay taxes on IRA distributions as ordinary income, but the penalty for not taking a required distribution is severe, so we often see folks looking to optimize around the end of the year.
One solution is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). If you distribute directly to a qualified charity (like CCC!), the IRS and state authorities see that you’ve taken your required distribution, but no tax is owed. It’s the most tax-efficient move you can make for a required minimum distribution.
Let us know if any of you have parents (CCC grandparents!!!) who would be interested, and we’ll help walk them through it.
