A donor or funder

Two questions, then a written answer with the next step and a person to reach. Every answer on this page was written for one kind of visitor, so nobody has to translate a general one into their own situation.

Answer two questions

1. Who are you?
2. What do you need?

Start over

If you need to know what a gift pays for

Gifts land in three places: families, providers, and the collaboratives

Money given here funds family resources, provider training and scholarships, and the local collaboratives that put both to work in a specific town. The Give page breaks that down, and the 2024 Annual Report shows the audited version of the same story.

If you need to make a gift now

Give online, or talk to someone first

Online giving is the fastest route and handles one-time and recurring gifts. For a larger gift, a multi-year commitment, or a gift directed to a specific collaborative, it is worth a conversation first so the money lands where you intend.

If you need to fund a program as a foundation

Start from the strategic plan, not the wish list

The Idaho School Readiness Project Strategic Plan for 2025 through 2030 sets out what this organization committed to before anyone asked for money, which makes it the honest starting point for a funder. Read it, then tell us which part you want to underwrite.

Every answer here was written for one person

Every answer above was written for one person. That is the whole method.

If none of that fit

Search everything, or ask a question in your own words

The search box at the top of every page covers each program, collaborative, event, published report, and staff listing on this site. A question typed into it gets an answer with the sources under it.
