~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Home School Foundation Report ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
July/August 2007
Friends of the Home School Foundation,
The Home School Foundation is in the middle of its busiest season as homeschool families begin to prepare for the next school year. We appreciate all your prayers as we try to help as many people as possible and be used by the Lord to spread hope and peace of mind to needy homeschoolers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Testimonies
For you who have invested in the Foundation through your gifts and prayers, we share the following notes from homeschooling families you have helped.
"Thank you all for giving us the scholarship again this past year so my family could continue homeschooing with the assurance of your support, if needed. God has been so gracious to us allowing us to continue teaching our two children through this difficult time as my husband is still incarcerated. At times we have not known how we would make it, but God always provides what we need. I praise Him for getting us through another year! God bless you." --Mary M.
"Thank you so much for granting our family a scholarship for our HSLDA membership fee. It is so wonderful that we can maintain our membership during this financially trying time. . . . Bless you and all those that work so hard in this organization." --Lisa C.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HSF Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements Online
The 2006-2007 fiscal year was monumental for the Foundation with over a million dollars raised, a rise in international giving, and help going to more families than ever before. To get a glimpse of what God has done in the homeschool community through the Foundation this year, view the HSF Annual Report at http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=4294 .
HSF has also put our 2006-2007 Audited Financial Statements online for anyone interested in seeing how HSF is handling the money you donate. To help fulfill our commitment to maintaining standards of accountability and integrity, the Foundation is independently audited each year to ensure that we are in compliance with current accounting and auditing standards, and that we are accurately reporting financial information.

Contest Updates
HSLDA's homeschool contests are going through some changes, most notably in scheduling. This fall, HSLDA will announce all four of its contests at once, each with different submission dates. The contests will now be held quarterly, and students will have more time to work on their submissions. The first contest in the new schedule will be for essays, with a November 1 deadline.
Be sure to keep checking the HSLDA contest webpage (www.hslda.org/contests) throughout August for more information as it is revamped to help these contests grow and make them even more of a learning experience for students!
The proceeds from all HSLDA's contests go to HSF's Special Needs Children Fund (http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=4296) to help homeschooling families with the expenses of private special educational services.
