At Colorado Mountain College, passion meets purpose. Through our Ignite Your Passion campaign, we are working to raise $5 million to empower the next generation of leaders in skilled trades, nursing, teaching, environmental science, and first responder training—fields that are vital to the strength and resilience of our mountain communities.
In FY2025, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we raised $3.5 million. This year, we’re planning bold expansions to these programs—and with your help, we can ignite the passion of our students and fuel the change our communities need.
IGNITE NURSING CAREERS
Across Colorado, hospitals consistently say that CMC nurses are among the most prepared graduates they hire. With your support, we aim to raise $1 million for nursing programs and students—expanding access to scholarships, strengthening our state-of-the-art nursing labs, and ensuring that more dedicated students—many balancing families, jobs, and long commutes—can join the workforce ready to care for neighbors, friends, and loved ones in moments that matter most.
Together, we can ignite opportunity, empower students, and build thriving communities across the Rockies.
