Your support is vital to the Foundation, which depends on it to make a difference in students' lives. As a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, we rely on corporate gifts and foundation grants, as well as donations from individual parents, other residents, and district employees.
Corporate, Civic, Municipal, Foundations
The IPEF receives broad-based support from many area businesses/vendors, municipalities, civic groups, and various community, civic,
private, and educational foundations. Their support comes in the form of grants, program/event sponsorships and products/services - all
of which help us provide educational enrichments to District 204 students. Since 2002, the list of such supporters has increased to more than 150.
Parents, Employees
District 204 parents, other residents, and employees also have given generously to the IPEF by:
Making a tax-deductible contribution (remembering to consider your employer's policy on matching funds):
In recent years, parents have donated a total of more than $60,000 a year through voluntary donations made when registering their children for school
District 204 employees can check the appropriate "Foundation" box when making payroll-deduction selections.
Community members can complete our donor form and/or mail it and contributions to:
Indian Prairie Educational Foundation
P.O. Box 3990

Checks should be made payable to the Indian Prairie Educational Foundation or IPEF.
Considering a planned or estate-related gift
Volunteering your time and talent
Also, the federal Pension Protection Act of 2006 provided an attractive way to donate to the Foundation using IRA funds,
while avoiding the income taxes typically paid with IRA withdrawals.
Under these rules, if you are 70 or older, you could donate up to $100,000 per year to charity from your IRA without
incurring either income tax or early withdrawal penalties.
NOTE: This provision initially applied only to the 2006 and 2007 tax years. So, be sure to ask your tax advisor if it can
still benefit you, your family, and the Foundation.
