As a public institution, Chaffey College is funded through a combination of state apportionment, local property taxes, student tuition and fees (set by the California Community College system), and federal and foundation grants. The college has been recognized as a top-10 U.S. community college by the Aspen Institute (2017) and as one of the 12 Most Innovative Colleges for Adult Learners by Washington Monthly (2017), and it received a $1 million Chancellor's Higher Education Innovation Award in 2018.
