Since our inception in 1988 through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, CDAC has assisted approximately 200 communities and employed more than 250 students on over 370 jobs. We have come a long way in 20 years from our first landscape architecture projects to the variety of landscape architecture, architecture, planning, and interior design projects and outreach work we currently do. Our conceptual design work and engagement with communities has helped leverage over $5,000,000 in funding and donations to help improve communities.  This includes close to 1,000,000 people in 200 towns, cities, counties, and small unincorporated communities across the Commonwealth.

Though we continue our great work in communities, budget cuts across state agencies and at Virginia Tech loom overhead.  It has become increasingly apparent that major fund-raising is needed for day-to-day operations so that we may continue to work with the many communities in Virginia in need of our assistance.  Our goal is an endowment to augment our yearly operating budget.

Please help us to assist the communities of Virginia with your generous donation.
