welcome to to The Ida Bell Foundation.

The establishment of the Idabel Foundation marks a significant step towards making education in healthcare more accessible to individuals from low-income communities. By focusing on supporting students of the Gifted Hands Academy, the foundation is directly contributing to the empowerment of those who are eager to improve their lives but are hindered by financial barriers. The academy’s mission aligns perfectly with this goal by providing its students not just with education but with a clear path to becoming integral members of the healthcare sector, a field that is not only in constant demand but is also crucial for the welfare of the community at large.

The Ida Bell Scholarship, named in honor of Ida Bell Lewis, is a testament to the values she embodied throughout her life. Her dedication to serving others and her generosity have inspired the creation of this scholarship, aiming to remove financial obstacles for those aspiring to make a difference in healthcare. This scholarship is not just financial aid; it’s a tribute to a woman whose life was a beacon of compassion and service. For individuals drawn to a career in phlebotomy, a critical component of healthcare diagnostics and patient care, this scholarship offers a chance to embark on a fulfilling journey that echoes Ida Bell Lewis’s legacy of making a positive impact on the lives of others.
