Spanish We empower educational leaders in the Gem State by providing one- or two-year fellowships to those who take risks and put children first. In partnership with the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation, Bluum serves as a funding intermediary and local champion for supporting entrepreneurial education ventures. Bluum provides partner schools with additional services and technical assistance. Our team can help elevate the business of running a school by reviewing financial infrastructure and identifying areas of strength and areas for improvement. Bluum has become a go-to resource on education research and innovation. We aim to share the work of Idaho’s high performing schools and outstanding educators. Our hope is that it can become a national model for helping all children reach their fullest potential. Bluum is proud to announce that Ashley Cotton, Director of Outreach and Organization, has been selected as a 2026 National Voices Fellow by 50CAN. The National Voices Fellowship brings together education leaders from across the country who are working to expand opportunity for students. Fellows participate in a multi-month leadership development program focused on policy, communications, coalition building, and strategic advocacy.
