IEA Children's Fund

Every year hundreds of Idaho school children lack support to be successful in school. In most cases, their family cannot afford to provide for their basic needs. From providing warm clothing in the winter to purchasing new glasses for a child with reading difficulty, the Children’s Fund annually makes hundreds of donations to help our state’s students.

Because of an Educator

We all have at least one great public school educator who saw something in us. Encouraged us. Took time for us. Inspired us. Fought for us. Who is yours, and what would you say to that educator if you could?
IEA President Layne McInelly
The best argument for public education in Idaho is the good, simple truth of what happens in our members’ classrooms each and every day.
