In 2012, the Frank and Belinda VanderSloot Foundation donated $2 million to restore the vacant, historic New Sweden Schoolhouse in Idaho Falls, which had sat unused and deteriorating for 60 years. The property and schoolhouse were renovated and the VanderSloots donated its use to the American Heritage Charter School.
The Frank and Belinda VanderSloot Foundation also made a sizable donation to the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, Inc., a national nonprofit educational organization that assists disadvantaged youth pursue their dreams through higher education.
