The Foundation focuses on teenagers, specifically high school seniors, business owners, and the general public. We know that early exposure to conversations about mental health is changing and savings lives. Through this initiative, we were able to share Jaes story with thousands of high school seniors, get them their Jae Boots, and have a bold conversation about mental health and ask them to commit to reaching out if they are ever in need of help. We then asked these individuals to go out and create Boot-Check cultures at their respective schools and work places. The feedback on this program has been exceptional. 264006 70014 Jae Foundation Retreats are immersive 4-day, 3 night experiences designed to help individuals step away from daily pressures and focus on personal growth, healing, and connection. These retreats guide participants through a self-leadership journey, combining leadership training, mental wellness strategies and community-building activities to equip individuals with the tools needed to lead healthier, more balanced lives. 238320 Boot-Check Sponsorships and Battle for the Boot - The Foundation partners with several universities and community partners to raise money for mental health awareness. The Foundation contracts with student ambassadors to share our message of hope and a future. 139472 73626 Boot-Check Live, formerly know as Nashville Nights, is a series of community events that unites country music artists from across the country alongside local talent, using the power of music to bring people together. More than just a concert, its an experience designed to spark conversations, create joy, and inspire meaningful conversations about mental health. Jae loved his country music and swing dancing and Boot-Check Live allows us to lean into both these passions and create Boot-Check Moments through music. 122220 Resource Team - It is the goal of the Jae Foundation to provide hope and healing for those in need. Although, it is not our mission to be a crisis center, we do have a Resource Team, consisting of Licensed Counselors and a Social Worker, who are able to Bridge the Gap until additional services become available. This team of high qualified individuals work with area professionals and resources to get an individual connected with area service providers. We do not strive to be a permanent help center for individuals, but we do work diligently to get those in need connected with the best possible resources and get those who struggle their Jae Boots. 89753 Teen Outreach and Scholarships - We have an amazing teen outreach program where we provide monthly teen outreach activities, free of charge. Each month our teen outreach leadership team, consisting of high school students, creates an event for area youth to be hosted at Jaes Place. We have students from numerous high schools at each of these events. These activities have provided exceptional community and connection for area youth. We also have a scholarship program that awards over $35,000 annually in scholarship dollars to raise awareness for mental health and those impacted by suicide. 24271 BTHO Week at the Jae Foundation is a powerful annual event that brings the community together to remember the 50,000 lives lost to suicide each year. Held at Jaes Place, this week-long challenge invites participants to run 50,000 BTHOs, a redefined version of the classic basketball suicide drill, as a tribute to those weve lost. With a basketball court painted at Jaes Place, individiuals and teams check in, log their BTHOs, and contribute to the collective goal, fostering remembrance, resilience, and a shared commitment to mental wellness. 375716 73626 2024975 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true X 37 0 true 31 true true true false false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false X Jason Vickrey President 2088252668 1881 Pole Line Road E Twin Falls ID 83301 X Jamie Shetler Executive Director 50.00 0.00 X 112917 0 0 Evan Roth Member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Vickrey President 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mandi Riddle Vice President 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Gabiola Secretary 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pete Jones Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 112917 0 0 2 false false false 1279108 2042155 3321263 Boot-Check Live 711130 73626 73626 Retreat Activities 713990 70014 70014 143640 16204 16204 337408 1279108 477102 -139694 -139694 Jaes Place - 990T 459420 -4784 -4784 -4784 3336629 143640 11420 -139694 X 112917 75278 37639 337131 180844 54800 101487 8250 8250 23844 20115 3729 1860 1860 12247 12247 216260 216260 31889 12314 19575 17960 14999 2961 5329 4536 793 63291 52787 10504 21467 21467 12132 12132 120584 100483 20101 98469 82054 16415 8084 6974 1110 Jae Boots 865738 865738 Retreats 196594 196594 Other Program Supplies 36477 36477 Scholarships and Sponsorship 117673 117673 2308196 2024975 124520 158701 539584 871269 521599 5308 771050 893558 9990 3543902 199954 2902829 3343948 2739 4231500 5630374 454297 170175 2349393 2095362 2349393 2719834 X 1700937 2369731 181170 540809 1882107 2910540 4231500 5630374 1028433 0 X false false false X 2200 53850 646919 2716462 3321263 6740694 1068136 1068136 95400 143640 239040 2200 53850 1715055 2811862 3464903 8047870 0 0 0 0 0 0 8047870 16204 16204 16204 16204 1198 1198 2200 53850 1716253 2811862 3481107 8065272 0.99780 0.99970 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1080000 1080000 1450239 85727 1364512 250363 46738 203625 763300 67489 695811 3343948 Auction 337408 1279108 -941700 216308 13069 30940 216785 337408 1279108 -941700 216308 13069 30940 216785 477102 -1418802 Unrelated business income explanation Part V line 3b Jaes Place is an all things country store that provides Jae Boots (Cowboy boots) to the foundation at wholesale cost for its Boot-Check moments and shares 100% of its outside sales with the Foundation.
