My Nonprofit Reviews

I have a long history with IDES. My father helped Myron Bates financially set up the organization and file for 501c3 status. I witnessed first hand the excellent work done thru the local churches to victims of tornados, hurricanes, floods, famine, and various disasters, natural and man made in the US and around the world. After Mr. Bates retired, his son-in-law and daughter, Rick and Nancy Jett, took the helm and expand the benevolent ministry in dynamic ways. The genius of this ministry is its dedication to raise their own ministry operating funds so that every donated dollar given for the disaster by donors will 100% be used to meet the needs, efficiently and effectively. They partner with local churches to handle distribution in their locality. “ Boots on the ground” know how to best how to put the funds into the correct hands. It works. I am proud to recommend this ministry.
