About the CNM Foundation 

Incorporated in 1992 as the not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation to accept and administer private gifts on behalf of Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), the CNM Foundation provides additional financial assistance for citizens of CNM’s service area, making it possible for them to obtain the quality educational opportunities they deserve.

The CNM Foundation is committed to the principle that no student should be denied the opportunity for an education or vocational training due solely to a lack of financial resources. The CNM Foundation works to help CNM meet 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.

Your gifts make it possible for our students to pursue the educational and career opportunities they deserve without the burden of financial obstacles. Thank you for helping them to become productive members of our community, which in turn helps our community thrive.
