THE COUGAR COMMUNITY FUND

The Cougar Community Fund (formerly known as the Angel Program) was started at Issaquah Valley Elementary to provide a helping hand to students who need extra support with basic necessities. The program is strictly confidential, both sponsors and students remain anonymous.

Sponsors make a huge difference in the lives of individual students within our IVE community. Anyone can become an sponsor or choose to donate.

How you can help:

Sponsoring a child – You will be matched with a child for the school year. You will provide weather appropriate clothing and other basics in the fall and again in spring. We ask that all items be new and not previously owned. Once you have been paired with a child, you will be sent the details of your child, the recommended list of items to purchase and instructions on how to proceed. The estimated cost is $100-$200 per student twice a year (total cost per student of $200-400 annually). Click here to sponsor a student.

Sponsor together – You may choose to partner with a friend in sponsoring a child, thus sharing the cost. There are also opportunities to sponsor more than one child.

Monetary Donations – You can also make a monetary donation to the Cougar Community Fund Program and the funds will go to a restricted fund account that will be used solely for purchasing items for children on the waitlist. A tax receipt for these donations will be provided. The Cougar Community Fund coordinator will then distribute items amongst the wait listed children. Click here to make a donation.
