Who We Are and What We're Doing

Hello!

We are three federal volunteers working for the early childhood education cause. We organized this fundraiser to help Idaho's children. Please contact us at vista@dhw.idaho.gov if you have any questions or comments. You can find out more information about AmeriCorps VISTAs at the website http://www.blogger.com/www.americorps.gov.

We are currently working on fundraising for two important early learning funds. The first is the Karen Mason Early Childhood Education Scholarship Fund which gives scholarships to Idaho students pursuing a teaching degree with a blended special education certificate. This blended certificate emphasizes children's growth, special needs training and Idaho's high teaching standards for regular classroom instruction.

The second fund is the Early Childhood Care & Learning Fund which will establish future grant money for Idaho communities to help support their early learning programs.

Both funds can be found on the Idaho Community Foundation (ICF) website http://www.idcomfdn.org/. The ICF is the only statewide public foundation administering funds on behalf of a variety of donors to support Idaho charitable organizations. Donations to our fund are tax-deductible and used to promote early learning in children birth to age five.

If you would like to donate to either of these funds click here or send cash, check, money order or credit card information to the Idaho Community Foundation at: P.O. Box 8143 Boise, ID 83707

If you are interested in learning about other giving opportunities such as property and stock donations please call ICF at:1-800-657-5357
You can choose to donate one time, monthly, annually or semi-annually.
