IHCAF Priority Goals for 2024
Mission: Improve Idaho’s quality of care through scholarships to those who provide care.
#1) Raise $25k for Scholarships
- Hold fundraising events (raffles & golf tournament)
- Pursue public donations
- Partner with technical schools, universities, and colleges
#2) Change Minds
We want to help improve the public perception of the long-term care profession:
- Publicizing the work of the Foundation
- Partnering with community organizations
#3) Promote Careers In Long-term Care
We want to promote careers in long-term care by awarding scholarships to those working in Assisted Living facilities, Intermediate Care Facilities, Skilled Nursing Facilities, Home Health, Home Care, and hospice Agencies.
#4) Add Scholarship for Sharon Galindo
We have an anchor donation from an MD who suggested a new scholarship in Sharon Galindo’s name. He says Sharon taught him everything he needed to know about LTC when he started 30 years ago. We need to raise $10,000 to fund this scholarship.
