CTTC Foundation

Based in Richmond. Built for its creative communities

CTTC Foundation, short for Contribution to the Culture, is an independent nonprofit based in Richmond, Virginia, built on a conviction: this city's culture is worth investing in, and the people making it deserve infrastructure; applause alone won't build it. CTTC is designed to support local projects through funding, connection, and long-term development. Investing in culture. Building community. Creating legacy.

Mission

To preserve culture and empower creatives, entrepreneurs, youth, and underserved communities through media, education, live programming, and economic opportunity.

Vision

A Richmond where creative work is sustainable work, culture has the infrastructure to grow, and the people who build it share in what it becomes.

Our values

Community first. CTTC's mission centers Richmond's creative communities. Equity in practice. We aim to expand access for underserved communities. Ownership matters. Creative people should have greater agency over their work, their platforms, and their futures. Build to last. We choose durable infrastructure over quick wins. Say what's true. Clear, credible communication matters.
