Y.J Family Charitable Foundation (YJFCF) is a non-profit private foundation committed to increasing the number of low-income students who attend and complete college across the state. We believe improving college achievement is central to preserving California’s future, and the Foundation works to provide low-income and historically underrepresented student populations with the college scholarships they need to make that achievement possible.
