Aims Foundation

In June 2024, Arty's Pantry Van hit the road for the very first time! Thanks to the amazing generosity of our community partners, Arty's Pantry now has a brand-new van to help us transport groceries and household essentials to Aims Community College campuses more efficiently than ever before. This exciting addition will allow us to fuel our mission of supporting students and ensuring they have access to the necessities they need to succeed.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible donors—your generosity keeps us moving forward and ensures that vital supplies reach the students who rely on them most.

Aims' Aviation Day was held on September 14, 2024 and truly soared to new heights, becoming a first-class success that brought the community together for a day of high-flying fun. Local food trucks and vendors fueled the crowd with tasty eats, while the Greeley native band, The Burroughs, took the event’s energy to cruising altitude. This family-friendly event, which continues to "take off" year after year, offered entertainment for all ages, including pre-sold flights, drone soccer, flight simulators, and more.

Most importantly, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, over $16,000 was raised for the Aims Aviation Program Scholarship. These funds will directly support aspiring students in their aviation careers. As Aviation Day continues to grow, it’s clear the enthusiasm for our aviation programs is soaring to new heights, keeping the local community and students engaged and excited about the future of aviation and the aviation programs success at Aims Community College.

The 6th Annual ECI Golf Tournament teed off on a picture-perfect day at Highland Meadows Golf Course on September 6, 2024, and it was a blueprint for success. Thanks to the generosity and participation of supporters like you, an impressive $37,000 was raised to support the Aims Foundation and ECI's Construction Trades Scholarship program. These funds will help lay the foundation for students pursuing careers in the skilled trades, equipping them with the education and training to build solid careers.

A huge thank you to our hard-hat heroes—the sponsors, participants, and volunteers—who helped construct such a successful event. With your continued partnership, we’re paving the way for the next generation of tradespeople, ensuring they have the tools and resources to construct their own success stories. Together, we’re helping students break ground and succeed on their dreams and create lasting change.

Thanks to YOU, the Foundation had a successful '23-'24 fiscal year, ensuring that Aims students can receive the financial support they need. Because of your support, Aims students saw an 138% increase in scholarships and grant funding! Additionally, we are projected to distribute 280% more scholarships in this upcoming fiscal year. This increase in funding could not be possible without the support of each and every one of our private and organizational donors. It's amazing to see our community come together and invest in the development of not only the Northern Colorado region, but in the lives of our students and their families.
