M I S S I O N
The Widows Fund enables widows/widowers to continue homeschooling by helping them with the cost of curriculum and other emergency needs.

Recognizing the unique challenges and often bleak financial circumstances that widows and widowers face, this fund offers HSLDA membership, curriculum scholarships, and emergency help so that dedicated widows/widowers can continue to direct their children’s education at home.

In
November of 1999, a father in Virginia learned of the death of a fellow
homeschooling father. Burdened by the family's loss, and having heard
similar reports in past years of families facing the same hard
circumstances, he decided to establish a fund to assist widows with the
financial costs of homeschooling their children. He presented the idea
to the Home School Legal Defense Association, which enthusiastically agreed to help administer the fund. In March 2000, the Widows Fund was born.
The
response from Home School Legal Defense Association members, as well as
nonmembers, has been warm and overflowing. Even children have
generously and sacrificially given to this fund from their small
savings.
