iPlan has long dedicated itself to building a venue for small
nonprofits and others on the Internet that gives them equal
footing with other organizations of greater size but never
smaller ideals. These are a few of the groups we support through
our Nonprofit Initiative and commitment
to the greater community.

The Peregrine Fund developed
from the shared concern that the Peregrine Falcon might
go extinct in the wild. The initial work was to learn how
to breed falcons in captivity, with the idea the young
could be released in the wild. In 1984 the current location
in Boise, Idaho was established -- the World Center for
Birds of Prey. |

Boiseko Ikastola, the only

in 1998 with accreditation by the City of Boise. Euskera
is the language spoken at this total-immersion program,

It is a common belief that children learning a second
language during the early stages of their lives develop
important cognitive skills and will be better able to
learn additional languages as they grow. |
