Ways to Make a Difference
There are many ways to support Bitterroot Early Learning Network beyond making a one-time or monthly donation. Whether your employer matches charitable gifts, you have a donor-advised fund, or you’re planning for the future, your generosity can help create strong beginnings for children and families throughout the Bitterroot Valley.
Explore the giving option that works best for you and help invest in the future of early childhood in our community.
Employer Matching Contributions
Did you know your employer may be able to increase the impact of your donation?
Many companies offer matching gift programs that match charitable contributions made by their employees. Some employers may also match gifts made by spouses or retirees. This means your donation to BELN could potentially be matched—allowing your gift to go even further at no additional cost to you.
How It Works:
Give to the Bitterroot Early Learning Network through your employer’s matching gift program or make your donation first and then request a match.
Contact your employer or use your company’s matching gift portal to find out if they participate in a matching gift program.
Follow your employer’s process to submit your matching gift request. BELN will provide any information needed to verify your donation.
Once your employer approves the match, additional funds are sent to BELN to support our mission.

Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows individuals and families to recommend grants to nonprofit organizations they care about.
If you have a donor-advised fund, you can recommend Bitterroot Early Learning Network as a recipient of a grant. Your DAF gift can support BELN’s programs, services, and initiatives that strengthen children, families, and early childhood educators throughout the Bitterroot Valley.
How It Works:
Contact your donor-advised fund provider and recommend a grant to Bitterroot Early Learning Network.
Your provider may request BELN’s legal name, address, and tax identification number.
Bitterroot Early Learning Network
501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
EIN: 36-3630200
You can recommend a grant amount and, when applicable, designate whether you’d like your gift to support BELN’s general mission or a specific eligible initiative.
Once your grant is received, your generosity helps BELN continue creating opportunities for children, supporting families, and strengthening our community.
