Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts, Culture & Humanities, Education, Two-Year Colleges
Mission: The foundation supports the development of higher education and cultural enrichment in the eastern sierra, including the establishment of a permanent campus in the mammoth lakes area that will provide facilities for academic studies, appreciation of the arts, and student housing.
Programs: The student's apartments are for the benefit of cerro coso community college students. They benefit the college by allowing out of the area students to reside in mammoth lakes and take advantage of the rural college experience. In addition, recruiting students from out of the area allows the college to provide more class offerings which benefits all students and the local community. The facilities are also used by various training and art groups when school is not in session. Sgsa has 35 rooms in the student housing building. It is the goal of the foundation to continue promotions and marketing to fill these rooms to capacity.
the foundation awarded 66 scholarships in the fall and spring semseters. Over 668 students have received scholarships since the program was started. The foundation continues to work with community organizations and the college as to future land use and facilities. The next project the community would like to see developed is a cultural center, expanded theater, and new arts programs. Planning and visioning is why we have a college in mammoth lakes. It is essential to continue this process which often takes years before the next project can become a reality.
