In this episode, we take a break from our normal digital marketing-related topics and talk about helping children with disabilities fund their education. I speak to Ronnie Daniels, the executive director at Children First Education Fund. CFEF is an organization that awards scholarships to students with disabilities. We go in-depth about how this program works and how you (if you’re a Utah resident) might be able to help.
Meet Ronnie, Executive Director of Children First
My guest, Ronnie Daniel, has built an accomplished career in the non-profit sector. His journey began with the Boy Scouts of America, where he dedicated 16 years across California, Colorado, and Indiana. Following that, Ronnie took on the role of development director at both the Natural History Museum of Utah and the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. Additionally, he has served as the executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association of Utah and held the position of director of philanthropy for WHOlives.
His passion for choice in education stems from being the father of a deaf son and he works diligently to help children with disabilities in Utah to have the best education opportunities available. Ronnie is married to Heidi and together they have four children and seven grandchildren.
What Children First Aims to Do
Children First prioritizes education as the means to independence. To ensure that these kids receive high-quality education, they provide programs that cater to their specific needs. To encourage donations, the organization offers tax credits, making it possible for more individuals to support this vital cause. “I don’t want your charitable dollars; I want your tax dollars.” Ronnie declares. Donors can have an important impact by redirecting state tax responsibilities toward Children First.
Take Action Today
It’s not as hard as you would imagine to get engaged. Donations of any size, whether $5 or $50,000, are greatly appreciated. Last year, donations ranged widely, demonstrating that every amount helps. Children First has raised $100,000 thus far, but they hope to support their activities with $3 million by the end of the year.
If you want to help children with disabilities, take action today. Visit the Children First website for more information, or reach out to Ronnie directly. Donations made by December 31 are eligible for tax credits. You can even roll over any excess contributions to future tax years.
Providing opportunity is equally as important as providing financial help for children with impairments. By cooperating, we may reduce the difficulties that families suffer while offering these kids a better future. Participate in the effort immediately; all kids have the right to a chance at life.
