Two goals over three years. First, saturate locally: every accessible, referred foster youth in Ada and Canyon Counties who wants mentoring gets it.* Second, launch an Inspire Idaho chapter in a new region, built on what we learned from Goal #1.
Every accessible, referred foster youth in Ada and Canyon Counties who wants mentoring gets it.*
A second Inspire Idaho chapter, built on a proven model.
Two goals. One campaign. Saturating locally proves our model works and scales. Our new chapter will stand on eight years of learning, scaling, and refining.
*Includes youth whom Inspire Idaho can reasonably reach when operating at its strategic maximum.
Our infrastructure is already approaching saturation capacity, and we have a plan to reach our strategic maximum and saturate locally by 2029.
How do we know what saturation looks like? We start with the number of foster youth we can reasonably reach when operating at our strategic maximum, and run that number through our refined conversion rates, which produces the impact funnel below.
Mentoring matches last an average of 1.75 years, which is why a dozen new ones a year sustains about twenty running at once.
The first number in each stage is current. The second is our 2029 saturation projection.
Four new pairs will come as current demand meets current capacity. Six more will come from increasing our referral and conversion rates, which we are already doing.
Mentors, workshop capacity and conversion rates are strong and growing. To reach local saturation, we must maximize the number of youth referred to us each year.
Replicating beyond local won't begin in 2029. We will work toward it while we saturate locally — documenting and testing our process before repeating it in another region.
These two big goals are reachable, but we cannot do it alone. We need financial partners who share our vision to change lives and transform generations by mentoring young people aging out of foster care to help them flourish as adults.
$300k over three years.
These funds, over and above our current fundraising, will set us up to saturate locally and replicate beyond local.
Together, we can create lasting change in the lives of young people experiencing foster care. If you would like to talk more about how you can partner with us to make this vision a reality, contact John@inspireID.org.
