Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of bringing HMI to life. We depend on our donors to fund about 15% of our operating budget each year. The HMI Fund is our annual fundraising effort to fill this budget gap. Donations to the HMI Fund support financial aid, faculty/staff compensation, and campus maintenance.
This past year HMI:
Awarded financial aid to 55 students, 32% of our participants
Provided 100% free outdoor gear rental to 22 Semester and Summer Term students
Purchased 13 round-trip flights and 14 pairs of hiking boots for top financial aid recipients
Allocated 100% of our endowment draw to financial aid
