Too many families in the Treasure Valley are walking along a financial tightrope – barely getting by, with no ability to save for college, a home or retirement. United Way is working to transform that financial tightrope into solid ground by helping these families learn the basics of household budgeting, increase their income and start to set aside savings.
Our Idaho Individual Development Accounts (IDA) program provides matching funds at a rate of $2 for every $1 saved by eligible individuals up to a maximum of $2,000. The savings account can be used to purchase a first home, attend post-secondary education or even start a small business while attending free financial education.
