• COLORADO MOUNTAIN COLLEGE, A DUAL MISSION COLLEGE, OFFERING CERTIFICATES, ASSOCIATE, AND BACHELOR'S DEGREES, SEEKS TO BE THE MOST INCLUSIVE, INNOVATIVE, AND STUDENT-CENTERED COLLEGE IN THE NATION. IN FISCAL YEAR 2024 THE CMC FOUNDATION TOOK IN SIGNIFICANT DONATIONS/PLEDGES IN ITS CAPITAL CAMPAIGN CONCLUSION OF THE FOUNDATION'S "RURAL NURSING SUCCESS FUND," COMPLETING THE 3RD OF THREE HIGH-FIDELITY NURSING SIMULATION LABS, ACQUISITION OF NEW SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY, AND INCREASED NURSING SCHOLARSHIPS. THE CMC FOUNDATION SECURED OVER 5.2M IN CAPITAL CAMPAIGN PLEDGES/DONATIONS FOR THE PROGRAM'S THREE NEW HIGH-FIDELITY NURSING SIMULATION LABS IN STEAMBOAT SPRINGS (COMPLETED IN SPRING 2021) AND SPRING VALLEY (COMPLETED IN FALL 2022), INCLUSIVE OF RAISING MORE THAN 2M FISCAL YEAR 23/24 TO OPEN THE BRECKENRIDGE NURSING SIMULATION & OUTDOOR SKILLS LAB (COMPLETED IN FALL 2023). PLEDGES FROM THE SUCCESSFUL "THE PROMISE OF SPRING VALLEY" 5M CAPITAL CAMPAIGN, COMPLETED IN FY22, CONTINUE TO BE PAID OFF. A NEW CAPITAL CAMPAIGN WAS ALSO LAUNCHED IN FY23, IN SUPPORT OF CMC'S APPLICATION TO ADD A NEW DENTAL HYGIENE DEGREE PROGRAM. THE CMC FOUNDATION RAISED 1.5M IN SUPPORT OF A NEW ORAL HEALTH CLINIC, TO SUPPORT OUR DENTAL HYGIENE STUDENTS, WHO WILL OFFER PREVENTATIVE CARE AT THE CMC VAIL VALLEY AT EDWARDS CAMPUS AS PART OF THEIR CURRICULUM. DONATIONS TO CMC'S RURAL TEACHER FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM CONTINUE TO BE OF INTEREST TO DONORS AS WELL. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE EVERY TEACHER CANDIDATE WHO AGREES TO STUDENT TEACH IN ONE OF OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS WITH A 10,000 HOUSING STIPEND AND A GUARANTEE OF A JOB IN THE DISTRICT. THIS 10,000 STIPEND IS FUNDED HALF BY THE STATE OF COLORADO THROUGH RECENTLY PASSED LEGISLATION AND REQUIRES A 50% (5,000) PRIVATE MATCH PER FELLOW.

• COLORADO MOUNTAIN COLLEGE OFFERS 7 ACADEMIC PATHWAYS WITH MORE THAN 130 PROGRAMS. DYNAMIC COMBINATIONS OF DEGREES (INCLUDING 8 BACHELOR'S DEGREES), CERTIFICATES, MINORS, AND SPECIALTIES EMPOWER STUDENTS TO EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES AND CHOOSE THEIR OWN ADVENTURE. CMC'S RECENT PROMINENT DESIGNATIONS: HISPANIC SERVING INSTITUTION (HSI), HUNGER-FREE CAMPUS, AND HEALTHY MINDS, CONTINUE TO DRIVE IMPORTANT STRATEGIC DECISIONS AND PRIORITIZATION. DONATIONS TO CMC VIA THE CMC FOUNDATION HELP TO MAKE THESE TRANSFORMATIONAL OUTCOMES POSSIBLE. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DESIGNATED COLORADO MOUNTAIN COLLEGE AS AN HSI IN 2021 AFTER YEARS OF DELIBERATE EFFORTS TO GROW CMC'S STUDENT BODY TO BE 25% OR MORE LATINO (NOW AT 28%). THE HSI DESIGNATION MEANS THE COLLEGE IS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL GRANT FUNDING THAT BENEFITS ALL STUDENTS. CMC IS THE FIRST HSI LOCATED IN COLORADO'S RURAL, HIGH-COST MOUNTAIN RESORT REGION. ONLY ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF COLORADO'S PUBLIC COLLEGES HAVE BEEN GRANTED HSI STATUS. CMC ACHIEVED ITS HSI DESIGNATION THROUGH DELIBERATE EFFORTS TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT AMONG LATINO STUDENTS. IN 2013, CMC'S LATINO POPULATION WAS APPROXIMATELY 13% OF OVERALL ENROLLMENTS, WHICH WAS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GENERAL POPULATION. THE COLLEGE PROMPTLY ADOPTED PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES FOR EACH OF ITS 11 CAMPUSES AND THE COLLEGE. IN EVERY CATEGORY - ENROLLMENT, RETENTION, CREDIT ACCUMULATION AND COURSE COMPLETION - THE COLLEGE FOCUSED ON DISPARITIES BETWEEN LATINO AND NON-LATINO STUDENTS. CMC FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS FOR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS CONTINUES TO GROW AS WELL IN SUPPORT OF ALL STUDENTS. THE HUNGER-FREE CAMPUS DESIGNATION CAME IN LARGE PART THANKS TO THE FOOD PANTRIES PILOTED BY THE CMC FOUNDATION AT THE VAIL VALLEY AT EDWARDS CAMPUS, WHICH WAS THEN REPLICATED AT EACH OF OUR CAMPUSES WITH SUPPORT FROM THE FOUNDATION. HUNGER FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS REMAINS A NATIONAL ISSUE AND THE FOUNDATION IS COMMITTED TO HELPING STUDENTS AT CMC BE HUNGER-FREE. FINALLY, THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION RECENTLY AWARDED COLORADO MOUNTAIN COLLEGE A HEALTHY MINDS DESIGNATION, RECOGNIZING CMC'S ONGOING WORK IN ADDRESSING THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF ITS STUDENTS. MANY OF THE PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF THIS IMPORTANT INITIATIVE RECEIVE FUNDING FROM INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, OR FOUNDATIONS THROUGH THE CMC FOUNDATION.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
