Aims Foundation

At the Aims Foundation, we believe cost should never be a barrier to education. That’s why we work every day to raise funds, build partnerships, and rally community support to help Aims students thrive—without the weight of overwhelming debt.

Thanks to the generosity of individuals, businesses, and organizations across our region, we’re able to provide scholarships, invest in innovative programs, and open doors for students who might not otherwise see college as an option.

And here’s what makes your gift go further:
Because of Aims Community College’s unique financial structure, 100% of every donation goes directly to supporting students and programs. That means more impact, more opportunity, and more success stories.

Whether you're passionate about education, looking to give back, or want to leave a legacy in your community—we want to partner with you.
Connect with us today to learn how you can make a meaningful difference in a student’s life.

Let’s build brighter futures—together.

Thanks to donors like you...

Thanks to YOU, the Foundation had a successful Fiscal Year 24-25, opening doors for Aims students to pursue their goals without financial barriers.

This year, we awarded 330 scholarships, up 78% from last year, with a total of $251,333 going directly to students — a 57% increase in scholarship funding.

These incredible gains would not be possible without the generosity of our private and organizational donors. It’s inspiring to see our community come together to invest in the growth of Northern Colorado and, most importantly, in the lives of our students and their families.


The Annual ECI Golf Tournament

The 7th Annual ECI Golf Tournament teed off on a picture-perfect day at Highland Meadows Golf Course on September 5, 2025, and it was a true blueprint for success. Thanks to the generosity and participation of supporters like you, $40,000 was raised to support the Aims Foundation and ECI’s Construction Trades Scholarship program. These funds will help lay a strong foundation for students pursuing careers in the skilled trades, giving them the tools to build solid careers from the ground up.
A huge thank you to our hard-hat heroes—the sponsors, participants, and volunteers—who helped frame out such a successful event. With your continued partnership, we’re paving the way, raising the roof, and breaking new ground for the next generation of tradespeople.
