Hear From Our Monthly Donors
It is very rewarding to know that even the smallest gesture can make a big difference in the lives of others, and at IDEA, our commitment never ends.
What IDEA does is important. I’m happy to support, albeit a small amount of money each month, but it’ll buy a book for someone.
IDEA staff work hard to prepare students for college. By donating, we help them get even closer to that finish line.
