Home School Heartbeat Radio Program

Mike Smith:
I’m joined again today by Tracy Klicka MacKillop, director of development at the Home School Foundation. Tracy, what are some creative ways our listeners can help homeschoolers through the Home School Foundation?

Tracy Klicka MacKillop:
Well, there are several ways families can help financially struggling homeschoolers, Mike. Besides a monetary gift to one of our many funds, families can also make a stock contribution or a charitable bequest or estate gift to the Home School Foundation through our Legacy Builders program. Listeners can also support our work every time they shop online, with our Clicks for Homeschooling program that gives a percentage of whatever they spend to the Foundation. If our listener’s a federal employee, they can make a tax-deductible contribution to their workplace Combined Federal Campaign. Home School Foundation has been a recognized charity of this campaign for over eight years now. If they’re not a federal worker, their employer might have a matching gift program; that’s another easy way to multiply their gift. And then, finally, if they’re not able to make a financial gift, they can still help other homeschooling families by getting involved with our Ambassador Program, which is dedicated to relieving homeschooling families’ tangible physical needs. Visit homeschoolfoundation.org, “Give Help,” to learn more about any of these opportunities.

Mike:
Tracy, these are fantastic opportunities for our listeners to bless the homeschool community. And thanks for sharing with us today! Until next time, I’m Mike Smith.
