The IEA Annual Impact Fund Powers What Matters Most, Now.
The Annual Impact Fund empowers IEA’s work in real time—supporting programs, scholarships, and the people who make transformation possible. Because tuition covers only part of the cost, annual giving sustains access, depth, and quality across every program. Your caring and support helps:
- Expand access to programs, support, and community for gifted youth—regardless of background
- Fund scholarships for families who otherwise could not afford specialized learning experiences
- Keep tuition within reach, reducing barriers to participation
- Sustain exceptional educators, mentors, and experts who guide each student’s growth
- Deliver resources for families and teachers—online and in person—to better understand and support gifted children
Every gift turns potential into possibility—and possibility into a path forward.

The Taya Scholarship Fund - Annual Camp Yunasa Support
Established in 2016, the Taya Scholarship Fund honors the life of Taya, a beloved Yunasa camper whose compassion and empathy left a lasting mark on all who knew her. Created by Taya’s family and friends, the fund supports a student who might not otherwise attend Camp Yunasa. A tree planted in Tanya’s name continues to grow at camp, as a living reminder of her kindness.
To support the fund, please note “Taya Scholarship Fund” in your donation or contact IEAGifted@EducationalAdvancement.org for more information.
Giving at IEA is not simply participation.
It is a partnership in the future of extraordinary minds.
