On July 16, 2024, Intrepid presented grants through its employee-led Ideal Community Fund to two different nonprofit organizations for Quarter 2 of 2024.

The WellHouse received a $10,000 donation from Intrepid, supporting their mission to rescue and restore female victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. This funding will aid in the upkeep and resources for The WellHouse child home, providing essential care and stability to girls from Alabama and Tennessee.

The North Alabama Zoological Society was granted $8,000 to fund scholarships for their “Be a Little Wild” Nature Camp. This initiative, led by passionate local volunteers, aims to educate children about Alabama’s biodiversity, ecosystems, and conservation through outdoor activities. The camp fosters awareness and appreciation of wildlife, nurturing future conservationists.

Intrepid extends heartfelt gratitude to both of these organizations for their invaluable contributions to the community and their dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of many.

The mission of the ICF is to advance philanthropic solutions to our community’s needs, by continuously striving to create the Intrepid vision of an “ideal” community which includes safety, opportunity, and care for all citizens. Participants of the ICF have selected the following three focus areas for 2024: Veteran Support  Services, Children & Family Services, Food Banks/Pantries and Food Distribution. The application deadline for Quarter 3 is September 8, 2024. Discover more about the ICF here.
