What is the IDEA Foundation? We are committed to helping people around the world who lack the resources to help themselves. Through education, construction, and even money for groceries, we impact real people everyday. Please take a tour of our webiste and learn more about the people we help and how we help them.

The Rite of Spring will again perform in support of The IDEA Foundation and the elderly poor of Romania. And the 15th Annual Benefit Concert promises to be a great show! On Saturday, October 4, 2008, from 7-10 p.m., The Rite of Spring will be joined by Peter Yeates and Rich Gillette, performing together for the first time in 34 years (this is the duo that really established Irish music in Portland). Other special guests include the group LyRRic and more! This special show will take place at Irishtown Bar and Grill in Vancouver [map]. We hope to see you there!
Cameroon School Gets New Roof
IDEA provided $1,500 to Alankie School for roofing material for four new classrooms built by parents. The money was wired to the school on Thursday, arrived at the local bank on Monday; the materials were purchased on Tuesday, and the job was completed on Thursday. The rains began on Friday! Prior to IDEA’s contribution, 147 students had to share one classroom.
Model Farm Project
The IDEA Foundation has the opportunity to purchase a thriving 13-acre vegetable farm in rural Namibia to use as a training facility for young men and women who wish to pursue farming and agribusiness as a career. An additional 500 acres have been offered to the project at no cost by a local organization via a 99-year lease.
