iFund Program

Do you ever buy groceries? Do you ever buy clothes? Do you sometimes eat at a restaurant?

Did you know that you can contribute financially to the ministry of Immanuel Lutheran School whenever you do any of these things? It's very simple. Before you buy clothes, groceries, home improvement products, or meals at a restaurant, stop by the school office and purchase iFund cards (gift cards that are used just like cash) for the merchant(s) where you will be shopping. Then use the cards for that merchant when you shop. Merchants that support non-profit organizations through the iFund program donate from 1-11% of the amount of money spent on iFund cards. iFund is fundraising while you shop! See the partial list of participating merchants below.

You can designate half of the money used from your iFund purchases to help reduce tuition payments for the set of people participating in the iFund program. (Tuition reduction is just one of several designations available.) The other half of the money raised is used to make special purchases to help the school. So far, the iFundprogram has helped purchase computer monitors, bleachers, a 15-passenger van, and a bus for the school.

iFund cards can be purchased from the Bookkeeping office while school is in session, Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. iFund is closed on Tuesdays.   iFund is also  available for purchase after each worship service on Sunday mornings.  iFund hours may vary during summer vacation as well as other school breaks. To make it even easier, you can download this iFund order form, fill it out, and bring it and your payment to the school's Bookkeeping Office.

Here are some great ideas on how to help ILS through the iFund program:

  • Buy iFund cards for your weekly grocery shopping...as much as 5% of your grocery bill will go to help Immanuel!
  • Use iFund cards to purchase gas at Safeway or King Sooper's
  • Re-charge your King Soopers card (originally purchased at ILS) at their service counter using a credit card, check, or cash and support ILS
  • Planning a big home improvement project? Buy an iFund Lowe's card and 4% of what you spend will help our school
  • Give restaurant iFund cards to one of our teachers as a double-powered "Thank You!"
  • Do your birthday or Christmas gift shopping at the iFund office...fast, convenient, and easy to wrap!
