CNM Foundation
Featured Funds
Gifts to the CNM Foundation are tax-deductible and benefit CNM programs, scholarships, and activities that are not funded through state operating and capital budgets. The following funds are our greatest areas of need.
GO Bond Fund
Great colleges are built by the communities that invest in them.
Feeding Families Fund
Sometimes the biggest barrier to a degree fits in a grocery bag.
Rust Opportunity Assistance Fund
One unexpected crisis shouldn't undo years of hard work.
Our most flexible source of support, covering priorities that don't fit neatly into a program budget but make a real difference to how the College runs.
For many CNM students, the biggest challenge to academic success is having enough to eat, access to basic resources, and the stability to show up and focus. Help them stay enrolled!
Honoring Chesley Karr through gifts to the Aaron Thorborn Karr Nursing Scholarship Endowment.
Help CNM students cross the finish line! Monetary stipends tied to completing key academic milestones provide targeted financial encouragement when progress deserves to be recognized, and momentum deserves to be sustained.
The CNM Foundation offers many other scholarships and funds you can donate to in support of our community.
