Giving to crms

A tradition since the early 1960s, CRMS’s Scholarship Work Day encourages the spirit of community stewardship to have an impact in Carbondale and the Roaring Fork Valley. On May 14, 2022, CRMS students and faculty will spend one day completing projects for area organizations, community spaces, local residents, and businesses in order to raise scholarship funds for students and their families.

Each fall, family members visit campus for several days which are packed with opportunities to share in school life. During the weekend, you can help support the CRMS Arts & Active programs by participating in OysterBASH, our annual silent auction. This year's auction will be hosted online with in-person viewing of selected items during Family Weekend. Most of the silent auction items are created by our talented CRMS faculty, students, and alumni.

Ways you can help:
• Sponsor the OysterBASH auction
• Donate auction items
• Register to bid online

For questions, contact Tim O'Keefe, Director of Annual Giving at (970) 930-3765

Thank you to our sponsors and the hundreds of generous families and alumni who make OysterBASH such a wonderful success benefiting the Arts and Active programs, including our 2021 sponsors:

We hope you’ll encourage your family and friends to join the movement to support nonprofit organizations like CRMS.

GivingTuesday, November 29, 2022, is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people to transform their communities. The idea is simple: GivingTuesday encourages people to do good during the holiday season by contributing to the organizations they love.

Colorado Gives Day, December 6, 2022, enables you to “give where you live” - to support organizations like CRMS in Colorado. Donations can be scheduled in advance of December 6.

Each year, the CRMS alumni community rallies together for a campaign to support The CRMS Annual Fund and an area of CRMS life that matters most to you. Your gift to the Annual Fund provides immediate financial support to all areas of campus life every day. This year, faculty members Mark Clark and A.O. Forbes ‘69 challenge alumni donors to support an area of the school you love: academics, outdoor programming, scholarships, student health & wellness, faculty professional development. Your gift to the Annual Fund provides immediate financial support to all areas of campus life every day.
