CM Cares Application
The CM Cares project applications will be reviewed in the spring by the CM Cares committee which may include a site visit to the project. Selected projects will begin the design phase in the spring with construction beginning in the fall. To be considered, please fill out the application and submit to khristy.jesse@colostate.edu.
Priority is given to projects that serve children and individuals in need of accessibility modifications as well as nonprofit organizations that serve the greater community. Consideration is only given to those who do not have resources or funding to complete the project otherwise.
In most cases project applications must be able to answer yes to the following questions.
- Do you/organization completing this application own the property for the project requested?
- Have you exhausted all means and cannot find construction related assistance anywhere else?
- Are you available to collaborate with student teams during the entire 16 week semester beginning in January through May?
- Is the project located in Larimer County or within 15 miles of the Colorado State University, Fort Collins campus?
