The Year in ReviewThe 2016-2017 fiscal year was an exciting adventure – implementing new ideas from the Foundation’s updated strategic plan while continuing to excel with our community grant awards and Osteopathic medical student scholarship programs.

With your support, we awarded $160,000 in grants to 14 nonprofit organizations including a $25,000 grant to the National Alliance on Mental Illness-C.S. (NAMI-C.S.) which is part of their three-year $75,000 grant. Scholarships totaling $51,000 were awarded to five Osteopathic medical students. Since established as a nonprofit

private foundation in 2009, we have awarded a total of $1,480,800 in grants and $406,000 in Osteopathic medical student scholarships for which we can all be very proud.

Our Foundation was recognized by the National Alliance on Mental Illness C.S. with their 2016 Advocate of the Year Award. This award was bestowed to our Foundation for our support of mental health outreach to underserved multicultural communities, crisis intervention team training for local law enforcement and first responders; as well as, Ending the Silence programming for middle and high school students.

Also, two new initiatives were launched: CSOF Community Service Projects and Membership Meetings at Nonprofit Organizations the Foundation supports. Care and Share Food Bank and Community Partnership for Child Development (CPCD) were the recipients of our community service projects. Membership meetings were conducted at CPCD and Peak Vista Community Health Centers. With both initiatives, participants obtained a greater understanding and appreciation of their important roles in the health of our community’s most vulnerable citizens.

Furthermore, the 1% Legacy Society was successfully founded and currently has nine CSOF members.

Our success comes largely from the capable leadership of our Board of Directors, committee members, our donors who trust us with their hard earned dollars, and our partners – local nonprofit organizations and accredited Osteopathic medical colleges throughout the country. Working together to strengthen our Foundation allows us to pursue our mission with enthusiasm and have a positive impact on the health of our community. “Philanthropy isn’t just about big gifts, it’s about participation. It is about the grace that comes from working together.” –Marc Benioff

Thank you for your confidence and trust in our leadership and for walking beside us as partners to make the Foundation ever more robust. It truly is a privilege, an honor and most rewarding to serve the Foundation and through it our community.

Community Impact: Springs Recovery ConnectionSprings Recovery Connection (SRC) is a grassroots nonprofit focused on removing the stigma of the disease of addiction, while providing hope of recovery. SRC accomplishes its mission through peer-to-peer and family support, community education, coaching and advocating for addiction policy changes.

Colorado ranked # 1 in the nation in illicit drug use for all age groups in the month of January 2016 – the issue of addiction is prevalent and growing. In 2015, the C.S. Fire Department responded to 9,648 opioid overdoses and another 3,000 people who overdosed on opioids presented at local hospitals.

SRC’s recovery support services are provided free of charge and serve a diverse clientele including people exiting substance abuse treatment programs, offenders re-entering our community after incarceration, the homeless, veterans, active duty military and recovering addicts looking for tools to maintain sobriety, as well as family members and other allies of those struggling with addiction. Cathy Plush is the founder and Executive Director of SRC and can be reached at 719-367-3292 or cplush@springsrecoveryconnection.org.

Osteopathic Medical Student Scholarship Program A major part of strengthening the Osteopathic presence in Colorado is through the tuition scholarships awarded every year to Osteopathic medical students. The goals of this program are to help these promising young adults complete their academic journey with a little less debt, to encourage the recipients to return to Colorado to practice medicine and to eventually “pay it forward” with their leadership and engagement in the Osteopathic profession. Learn more about our program at csof.org/scholarships.html.

During the 2016-2017 fiscal year, the Foundation awarded $10,000 scholarships to two, third-year medical students and three, fourth-year medical students totaling $50,000.

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTSOur Foundation is unique in that it has member volunteers, an untapped community resource. To complement the Foundation’s Community Grant Program, Community Service Projects were launched to tap into our human resources to further benefit selected nonprofit organizations in our community and to engage our members in the work that the Foundation supports. Our member volunteers and their family members participated in two projects. Our first project was conducted at Care and Share Food Bank on the 18th of August, a Saturday morning, assembling boxes and filling them with food for seniors. Our second project was donating new books for preschool children attending Community Partnership for Child Development’s Head Start program. Both community service opportunities met with remarkable success and team work!!

WHO WE ARE:

MEETINGS AT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONSIn addition to bringing nonprofit organization representatives to Foundation Membership meetings to learn more about their missions, we decided to take our meetings to some of the nonprofit organizations. The goal was to immerse our members into the work of the nonprofit organizations that the Foundation has supported with grant awards. Our first meeting was held at Community Partnership for Child Development and our second meeting was conducted at Peak Vista Community Health Centers. Our members learned in greater depth about the services and clients of these nonprofit organizations and how together we are all impacting our community’s health.

Established in 1984, Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation’s charitable mission lives on today through grant and scholarship awards, as well as collaboration with like-minded organizations to address community health issues.
