Since 1938, Virginia DECA has been providing young adults the opportunity to develop skills necessary for personal and professional success. A strong and long-standing partnership with the business and education community has allowed Virginia DECA to build one of the best programs in the nation.
The Virginia DECA Foundation was established to provide community support to marketing students as well as fund and award scholarships to its members. Your contribution is tax deductible and will directly benefit Virginia DECA members (the Virginia DECA Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization). Funds raised will ensure that Virginia DECA members receive the highest quality educational opportunities and a head start on becoming tomorrow’s leaders.
The Foundation provides support and assistance for the improvement of Virginia DECA and its ongoing programs. This input and advice will include, but is not limited to:
- Providing support for Virginia DECA and State Department of Education staff relative to the various endeavors of Virginia DECA.
- Providing instructional resources, serving as guest speakers and assisting with chaperone responsibilities.
- Assisting with the public relations function to inform parents, students and the business community of the many and varied career opportunities available to students enrolled in Marketing Programs.
