DONATION FORM 2022/2023 Please help us help start funding 2022/2023 programs * Teacher Grants - curriculum focused * Student Enrichment Essay Scholarships * Teacher programs, appreciation plans * Senior Essay Graduation Scholarships / Gifts * School community events and more We voted to replace "membership dues" with "donations" to make it easier for everyone. It reflects our goal to serve everyone at IAE. We created new programs to build on that vision with scholarships for enrichment, expanding teacher grant program (just launched spring of 2021) and so much more. Every dollar you contribute is TAX-DEDUCTIBLE, we are a 501 (c3) qualified Non-Profit and will be happy to give you a letter for use with tax filings of your donation to the campaign. Now it's your turn to STEP UP FOR IAE and DONATE to the ANNUAL CAMPAIGN to fund this year's planned programs. We ask that you donate $35 or more (equivalent to our old membership due or more). Did you know that if only 1/2 of our families contribute this minimum we can easily reach our initial Goals! That's less than a dollar a week for the school year. We only use the funds to directly invest back into IA excellence! 3. Review the PTIA meeting minutes to catch up to news and tips for all parents from our 1st meeting of the year.
