2023 IFYE Donors
2023 was a successful year for fundraising among IFYE Alumni and friends of IFYE in our 75th year of IFYE (1948-2023). This donor roll includes the recurring/periodic giving, grants, memorials and in honor of individuals, conference donations, CLUB 75, 75th Anniversary and Celebration donations, and other donations that helped support our IFYE program.
