Give The Gift Of Education

December 1, 2020 By IACS

Invest in EducationThere are lots of investing opportunities in life. Savings, financial markets, business opportunities – but few opportunities have the impact of a great education, loving teachers, and schools responsive to their students and parents.

 

Today is #GivingTuesday but every day is an opportunity to invest in the future of Iowa’s children.  Give to a School Tuition Organization (STO) and make a Christ-centered education possible for a child in need.  You can learn more about Iowa STOs at the Iowa STO website.  You can find an IACS-aligned STO below:
