Established through the RCCD Foundation, the Mark Takano Legacy Fund supports operations and activities at the Center for Social Justice & Civil Liberties that increase access to education that enhances understanding of social justice and civil liberties issues in the Inland Empire and across the state and nation.

Mark A. Takano served for 22 years on the Board of Trustees for Riverside Community College District. A high school teacher, he is the son of first generation Japanese Americans, and the grandson of Japanese immigrants. Access to education ranked high among his interest as an RCCD trustee, along with the development of the Innovative Learning Center at Stokoe, the Henry W. and Alice Edna Coil School for the Arts, and the Center for Social Justice & Civil Liberties.

​In 2012, Takano was elected to serve as the first representative for the 41st California Congressional District, which includes Riverside City College.
