Give to IUE

To date, $2.72 million has been secured in support of IUE. In order to fully implement the program, additional private resources are necessary for a variety of needs – scholarships, student housing and books, faculty support, new teacher assistance and funds for principal preparation. An unrestricted gift to IUE, in any amount, ensures that this promising program has enough assets to realize its ambitious goals. Following are select examples of how your investment can influence the quality of Kansas City’s educational landscape.

FUNKY (Flatland Urban Network by KC Yankees) is comprised of a group of young professionals living in New York City who share ties to the Kansas City community. The group chose IUE as the beneficiary of their 2008 annual fundraiser. Proceeds support IUE’s scholarship needs. FUNKY was founded in late 2006 as a way to unite philanthropic efforts in New York to fund charities in the Kansas City area.
