CIMG students

Support the Future of CIMG

CIMG has a long history of shaping capable, confident, and career-ready students. The program equips its members with real-world skills, meaningful experiences, and a professional network that continues to open doors long after graduation. Now, we’re inviting the broader community—alumni, parents, partners, and supporters—to help strengthen that mission for the next generation.
 
This initiative is about more than funding. It’s about investing directly in students. Your support expands access to opportunities that transform lives: hands-on learning, industry engagement, stock pitch competitions, and the kind of mentorship that defines CIMG.
 
Whether you’ve been part of the group yourself or simply believe in developing exceptional young talent, your participation makes a difference. Every contribution, of any size, helps create opportunities that echo far beyond campus.
 

If you’d like to discuss the initiative personally, you’re welcome to reach out to Culverhouse’s Executive Director of Development, Nick Foster, at nfoster@ua.edu.

Thank you for supporting one of The University of Alabama’s premier student organizations.

Our Focus

Support will be directed to toward two priorities that strengthen the heart of the organization:

  1. Member Enrichment — elevating the student experience.

  2. Alumni Engagement — deepening connection and community across generations of CIMG.

CIMG’s pooled investment currently sits at $2,500,000 and does not need another cash infusion.

Member Enrichment

The member enrichment categories were developed by CIMG current student leadership.

  • Stipends for underclassmen being offered unpaid or low paid internships
  • Travel to stock pitch competitions and meet the firms recruiting trips
  • Infrastructure to support CIMG’s growth, including expanded workspace and upgraded technology.
  • CIMG awards to memorialize member successes and stock pitch competition wins
  • Periodic support of member events and de minimis unforeseen expenses

Alumni Engagement

Your connection to CIMG doesn’t end at graduation. Through your support, alumni can stay connected, share their experiences, and help strengthen a community that continues to shape future investment professionals.

  • Alumni weekend events
  • Summer happy hours in cities hosting CIMG interns
  • Host alumni returning to speak to and recruit CIMG members
  • Support of the program’s mission
