Our Role

What RMAI Does

Governance & Fiduciary Oversight

Rocky Mountain AI is the legal entity behind the community: a Colorado 501(c)(3) governed by a volunteer board. We hold the finances, keep the records, and carry the fiduciary responsibility, so subgroup leaders can spend their time on programming instead of paperwork.

Fundraising, sponsorships, & grants

Sponsors and donors are what keep community programming running. RMAI raises and stewards those funds through corporate sponsorships across Platinum, Gold, and Silver tiers, individual giving, and foundation grants, with recognition matched to each partner’s level.

Transparency & Accountability

Our IRS determination letter, EIN confirmation, and W-9 are published on the Donor Documents page. The board receives quarterly revenue reporting, and we file the required annual return with the IRS. If you are considering a gift, you can verify us before you give.

The Community

Subgroups across the Front Range

Programming is run by the Rocky Mountain AI Interest Group and its subgroup leaders, each with their own community, their own meetups, and their own focus. RMAI provides the governance and funding that keeps it running. Get in touch with one or more of the eleven subgroup leaders via LinkedIn to learn more!

How we work

Four commitments

RMAI is a volunteer board stewarding money that other people raised and other people earned. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.

The community owns its programming
RMAI funds and governs. Subgroup leaders decide what to run, who speaks, and how their groups operate. We don’t approve agendas or speak on their behalf.

Sponsorship supports, it doesn’t steer
Sponsors receive recognition and access matched to their tier. They do not get influence over what subgroups discuss or who is invited to speak.

Most of every dollar reaches the programming
We target 85 to 90 percent of expenses going directly to programming, against the Better Business Bureau’s 65 percent standard.

Verify us before you give
Our IRS determination letter, EIN assignment letter, and W-9 are published in full on our donor documents page. Nothing sits behind a request form.

Who makes this possible

Thank you to our sponsors

Every RMAIIG meetup is free to attend. Workshops sometimes carry a fee to cover instruction and scholarships are available for all of them.

Platinum Level

Gold Level

Silver Level

These organizations fund free AI education across the Front Range.

Get the quarterly update

Four times a year we send a short read on what the board approved, where the money went, and what’s growing across the Front Range. No event blasts, no fundraising drip.

Keep it free at the door

Every RMAIIG meetup costs nothing to attend. Sponsorship and donations are what make that possible, and what let us keep adding subgroups across the Front Range.
