The Year in ReviewIn a perfect world, no one would go to bed hungry, experience domestic violence, suffer from child abuse and neglect, writhe from excruciating pain, be homeless, have mental illness, be bullied, or be addicted to drugs and alcohol ... and the list goes on. We know our world is filled with imperfection; all of these exist and they affect many people in our community. The health and human service needs in El Paso and Teller counties are numerous. Our community is fortunate that there are myriad nonprofit organizations providing an array of services striving to help those most vulnerable. These nonprofit organizations depend on individual donations and foundation support for their operations and programs. As a nonprofit philanthropic private
foundation, we are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of our community.
Our legacy is one of changing lives and making our community better day by day, one organization at a time, one life at a time. At the end of the day, our Foundation is about adding value to others’ lives. During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, our Foundation awarded $162,500 in grants to help our community’s nonprofit organizations improve the lives for so many people who have challenges beyond what we can only imagine. In addition, our Foundation awarded $50,000 in tuition scholarships to five Osteopathic medical students with a Colorado connection. Through the Walter S. Strode, D.O. Memorial Scholarship $1,000 was awarded to one student for books, fees, equipment and supplies.
All that we accomplish couldn’t occur without you, our members, friends and donors. We work in partnership with all of you to ensure our philanthropic dollars are invested wisely in our community and to honor our commitment to the Osteopathic profession.
We are reminded of an anonymous quote “Volunteers do not have more time, they just have more heart.” Thank you for having a heart for our Foundation and its mission. It truly was an honor and a privilege to provide leadership for the Foundation and engage with you during the fiscal year.

Community Grants: Making an ImpactOne in four people in our community will experience a mental illness. Mental illness is a common biological brain disorder, and it’s treatable. Since 1983, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has been helping people in our community navigate the chaos and confusion of major mental illnesses. NAMI does this by providing no cost ongoing education and support programs, through community awareness and advocacy projects and by responding firsthand to 200 monthly phone calls from people seeking resources and guidance. Additionally, NAMI-C.S. offers Mental Health First Aid to anyone in the community interested in learning more about how to identify and support someone who is struggling.
Mental illness affects people of every age, gender, race, religion and socioeconomic level. It is known that by removing the stigma of mental illness and replacing it with education and hope, the prognosis for those with mental illness improves dramatically. To learn more about NAMI-C.S., go to www.namicoloradosprings.org or call 719-473-8477.
Osteopathic Medical Student Scholarship Program A major part of strengthening the Osteopathic presence in our community is through the tuition scholarships awarded every year to Osteopathic medical students. Students attending an accredited College of Osteopathic Medicine and who have a Colorado connection are eligible to apply in their second year of medical school for a $10,000 tuition scholarship that is awarded in their third year of medical school. Scholarship recipients in good standing at the beginning of their fourth year of medical school automatically receive a $10,000 tuition scholarship. Thus the scholarships total $20,000 per student. The goals of this program are to help these promising young adults complete their academic journey and become strong Osteopathic physicians and leaders in medicine and in their communities and for these scholarship recipients to return to Colorado to practice medicine once they complete their residencies and/or fellowships. This is the Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation’s contribution to increasing the number of physicians practicing medicine in Colorado.
During the 2014-2015 fiscal year, the Foundation awarded $10,000 scholarships to two third-year medical students and three fourth-year medical students:

MEMBER ENGAGEMENT—WHAT CAN YOU DO?
ABRIDGED HISTORY OF THE COLORADO SPRINGS OSTEOPATHIC FOUNDATION The Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation was established as a public charity on August 14, 1984 as the result of the sale of Eisenhower Osteopathic Hospital to Summit Health Ltd. Its original purpose was to primarily engage in the conduct of medical care, medical education and public education. This was accomplished by operating an ambulatory osteopathic family practice clinic for the underserved populations in El Paso County and surrounding areas, conducting a family practice residency training program, providing a facility to train and educate Osteopathic medical students, interns, residents and fellows in an ambulatory family practice care setting and conducting continuing medical education programs; as well as, educating the public in matters relating to osteopathic medicine and health.
Today the Foundation is still organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes. On July 1, 2009, the Foundation became a private, non-operating foundation. The Foundation’s purpose is to improve the health and well-being of our community consistent with its Osteopathic heritage. This is accomplished by making grants to qualified nonprofit tax-exempt public charities described in Sections 501 (c)(3) and 509 (a)(1) or 509 (a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that meet its mission priorities, by providing tuition scholarships to Osteopathic medical students from Colorado and collaborating with like-minded organizations to develop solutions to meet community health needs.
