Invest in changing the face of education.

Holiday Fundraising Update!

IDEA's holiday fundraising raised $3,483 of the $5,000 matching grant. Thank you to all who have donated! We have only $1,157 to go, so please make your donation today to help us meet our goal!

IDEA is a people-powered non-profit organization, and your support will ensure that it continues to be a strong and sustainable effort to reinvent the face of education today. Everything you can do will go a long way.

The most direct method of support is financial, and we hope you’ll consider making a donation to IDEA.



Matching Grant

We are excited to announce that IDEA is kicking off our fundraising drive with a commitment from an anonymous donor for a matching grant. This means that every dollar raised up to our first $5,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, resulting in a total of $10,000. For instance, your $50 donation will actually raise $100 for IDEA, and your $100 gift will raise $200.

Donating by check directly to IDEA ensures that all the funds go to us, without any processing fees. IDEA’s application for tax-exempt status is pending, and we will mail you a tax receipt for your donation as soon as we receive that status.
