I GIVE FOR TEAM CMC!

If you already have a payroll deduction in place and want to update or renew the gift designation or the amount, OR if you’re making a payroll deduction for the first time, use Workday. Once you’ve entered the deduction amount in Workday (a minimum of $2.50/paycheck), you’ll need to fill out information regarding where you’d like that donation to be applied. Payroll deductions will begin the first pay period of 2025.  Please note: this is a 2-step process!

STEP ONE: Complete the following instructions in Workday to advise payroll how much to deduct from each of your bi-weekly paychecks and the frequency.

1. Go to Basecamp and click on Workday.
2. Navigate to “Benefits and Pay” from the left-hand menu.
3. Click “Pay” and then “Voluntary Deductions.”
4. You will have two options:
   1. Click the “Add” button (for a NEW donation)
   2. Or if you have an existing payroll deduction you will see a line item with the amount and frequency. If you would like to change the amount of an existing Voluntary Deduction, please add an “End Date” to the existing line item and create a new Voluntary Deduction.
5. Select “CMC Foundation” or “Employee Assistance Fund.”
6. Frequency: “One-Time” or “Ongoing.”
   1. For a “One-Time” payroll deduction donation add the “Date”
   2. For an “Ongoing” donation add a “Start” date and either add an “End Date” or leave it blank if you want it to continue.
7. Click “OK” and “Done.”
8. You can then return to Benefits and Pay and review your voluntary deduction. Edit or Delete.

STEP TWO: Advise the CMC Foundation how you want to distribute your donation.

1. Go to Basecamp and click on Workday.
2. Navigate to “Benefits and Pay” from the left-hand menu.
3. Click “Suggested Links” and then “Team Fund Donation"
4. Fill out the form and click “Done” to finish.

Once submitted this form will be delivered to the Foundation and your gifts will be designated as you’ve instructed. If you don’t fill out the Team Fund Donation form, your donation will be automatically designated to the area of greatest need.

To complete an Annual Leave Conversion for Team Fund simply navigate in Workday the same as requesting Annual Leave or a Sick Day. Please note this is a 2-step process!

STEP ONE: Complete the following instructions in Workday to convert up to 16 hours of your annual leave into a monetary gift for Team Fund. Go to Basecamp and click on Workday.

1. Navigate to “Absence” from the left-hand menu.
2. Select “Request Absence” and pick any day(s) on from the calendar.
3. Once the dates(s) are chosen, click on “Other Absence Types” and click on “Annual Leave Conversion”.
4. Fill out the form and hit “Submit”. HR will follow up with you and confirm the amount your annual leave equals.

STEP TWO: Advise the CMC Foundation how you want to distribute your donation.

2. Navigate to “Benefits and Pay” from the left-hand menu.
3. Click “Suggested Links” and then “Team Fund Donation"

The CMC Foundation provides critical funding to sustain and expand programs and resources for CMC. When you give to CMC’s Team Fund your tax-deductible gift can be designated to support the No Barriers Fund, which provides assistance to our neediest students; student scholarships at a particular campus, a particular program, or the annual fund which allows the foundation the flexibility to allocate support to the area of greatest need within the college.

100% of EVERY employee dollar goes to the designation you choose. At the end of each calendar year your final paycheck stub will show the total amount you have given to CMC.

The CMC Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 institutionally related organization whose mission is to build sustainable community support for the needs and strategic priorities of Colorado Mountain College and its students. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Student Emergency Fund
The Student Emergency Fund (a/k/a the “No Barriers” Fund) offers assistance for student emergencies or unexpected needs. Funds are distributed on a case-by-case basis and can cover anything from groceries to utility bills to car repairs. Awards from this fund have an immediate impact and have made a significant difference in the lives of hundreds of CMC students.

Employee Assistance Fund
The Employee Assistance Fund offers additional supports for CMC employees. The fund is distributed to faculty and staff who are experiencing financial hardship such as a sudden change in living situation, effects from a natural disaster, or impacts felt from an unprecedented circumstance.

Study Abroad Support Each year, CMC offers faculty-led international trips of varying length and credit options. Help provide greater equity and allow even more students to experience these life-changing travel opportunities!

Scholarships
Provide support to students looking to make their dreams of higher education a reality across all of our 11 campuses. Gifts of any size contribute to our general scholarship fund and are greatly appreciated.

Area of Greatest Need
These contributions provide the Foundation with the most flexibility to address the most urgent needs of CMC and our students. Your gifts to this fund are unrestricted and are used to help wherever the need is greatest, supporting a diverse range of students and important projects.

As a member of our dedicated faculty and staff, your hard work impacts the lives of students in essential ways. Every day, each one of us works to ensure that our students have an opportunity to reach their educational goals.

Giving to the CMC’s Team Fund is another great way to show your support and make a difference in the lives of our students. Your participation also demonstrates to the community, and our key stakeholders, that faculty and staff believe in CMC enough to invest.
