IDRA

Small moments add up to something much bigger.

A year of opportunities to ask questions, learn, create, collaborate and lead.
$20,000 = One School. One Year of Possibilities.

Your Big Give donation joins gifts from across our community to help bring these opportunities directly to students and their school communities.

Every gift becomes part of the story.

You may never see the question that sparks a new idea.

The moment a student realizes their voice matters.

Or the experience that helps them see a new possibility for their future.

But they will.

The potential is already there. Your gift helps create the opportunities for students to discover it, share it and put it into action.
