Become a Donor to the Irvin Learning Farm Scholarship Fund

Irvin Learning Farm provides a unique experience for children to explore, make discoveries and learn about the natural world.  We want to make this opportunity available to all children, especially those who would not otherwise have this experience. Gifts to our scholarship fund provide tuition for needy students, transportation to and from Irvin Learning Farm, healthy lunches, snacks and water, extra clothing and supplies and special outreach projects and enhancements to our programs.  Donations from individuals and small businesses have allowed us to serve increasing numbers of youngsters, with close to 20% of our 2010 summer enrollment being scholarship students. 

Help us continue to reach out to children and families in the community. To print your tax-deductible donation form, click here.
