Reorganized in 1992, the CNM Foundation is CNM’s private, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization created to leverage private funding resources and opportunities to maximize CNM’s operational and program funding.
| Our Mission The CNM Foundation works to provide the extra financial assistance necessary to provide the citizens of CNM's service area with the quality education they deserve. 
The support allows the College to meets its mission to create educational opportunities and community partnerships while pursuing a level of community college excellence that is worthy of local and national recognition. Our Vision The CNM Foundation will be the premier fundraising and advocacy group for promoting CNM and its programs with the community. The CNM Foundation, its officers and its board members work with members of the community to raise funds for student scholarships, program support and other special college needs. |
For some, CNM provides the cornerstone of their careers – careers that utilize state-of-the-art technologies that can be learned through courses offered by the College. Contributions to the CNM Foundation help supplement funds earmarked for high-tech equipment the college needs to provide quality training. It is this training that contributes to a strong workforce in our area.
For others, education at CNM offers an avenue out of poverty, a vicious circle that forces them to work more than one job to support their families, yet provides no financial ability to pursue the education necessary to rise above poverty level. The Foundation provides the financial assistance these students need to attend school and buy their books and supplies.
The CNM Foundation offers a lifeline to much-needed services, be they tutoring for a GED, emergency funding for a new transmission to get to classes and work, or energy assistance. Recognizing the needs of the student and their families as part of one complete picture, and supporting those needs as they pursue a quality education, differentiates and distinguishes the CNM Foundation.
