The Homeschool Foundation
This resource is there to help and support homeschooling families in
need. They have a variety of funds available to homeschooling
families based on their specific situations. I’ve just copied and
pasted their descriptions of each fund here, with the link directly to
their site.
Members Helping Members Fund
- In the last few months, a number of Home School Legal Defense
Association member families have been telling us that they are being
negatively affected by the downturn in the economy—by either losing a
job or having their salary reduced. Many have reported being laid off
by an airline or related employer. If your family has been blessed with
financial stability, and you would like to extend a helping hand to a
fellow home school family, we have established the Members Helping
Members Fund scholarship fund to assist families with their HSLDA
membership.
Compassion Fund
- All undesignated gifts to the Home School Foundation will go into its
“Compassion Fund.” Monies in this fund are used to cover the
Foundation’s printing costs, give grants to local home school support
groups around the country, and support other home-school related
causes.
Widows Fund
- Each year we hear from many member families who have lost a parent to
death. Oftentimes, their heartbreak is compounded by financial
constraints which make continuing home schooling difficult. Until
now, all we have been able to offer these families was our heartfelt
sympathy. Now, with the establishment of the Widows Fund, we are able
to meet the needs of widows and orphans in a tangible way. This
endeavor truly enables dedicated mothers to continue directing the
education of their children at home
Special Needs Children’s Fund
- An increasing number of families with special needs children have
begun seeking the benefits of home schooling and the services of HSLDA.
Approximately 10 percent of HSLDA member families indicate they are
home schooling a child with special learning needs. In 1993, HSLDA
realized that more guidance was needed for these families and hired a
consultant to assist our families with learning needs of their
children. The Special Needs Children’s Fund is designed to assist
home schooling families with the financial challenges of privately
meeting the academic needs of their special needs child.
