Giving Back
Why We Give
At Telaya, we believe that it is very important to give back to the community that is supporting us. These charities have been carefully chosen by our team based on a strong connection with their mission and balancing the fact that we are a small business with limited resources.
As our team grows, diverse backgrounds and interests brings new charities and organizations that we are interested in supporting. There are so many wonderful organizations that do so much good in our community, but these are those organizations that have touched our hearts and we are happy to give back to year after year.

Boise Bully Breed Rescue
The mission of the Boise Bully Breed Rescue is to educate the public regarding bully breeds, promote responsible pet ownership, promote spay and neuter programs, and advocate against breed specific legislation and inhumane activity of dog fighting. Being a veterinarian, Carrie is passionate about all of these goals – as well as not pigeonholing breeds and instead making judgements on individual animals.
Camp Rainbow Gold
Camp Rainbow Gold is an oncology camp, sibling camp, and family camp. These camps bring children and families together with other’s affected by cancer to share experiences like fishing, hiking, camp fires and laughter. Our team is honored to support this Idaho organization.
Idaho Shakespeare Festival
The entire Telaya Team loves the Boise summer tradition of experiencing The Idaho Shakespeare festival! But what we truly support is the mission of the Festival to expose school-age children (especially those in rural and under-served communities) to the magic of Shakespeare and all of the theater arts. In addition, we commend The Helena project which brings Shakespeare actors once weekly to the school at St. Luke’s that serves children within the hospital. Not only does it help the participants learn about the theater, but more importantly, it allows them to play and just be kids.
Mission43
Although Earl did not serve in the military, he came from a military based family and knows the value of the sacrifices people in the military make. Earl also knows that after belonging to a group of people with a common purpose and mission it can be difficult to find a new mission outside of that environment and the work Mission 43 is doing to help with the re-integration of our troops into productive roles in our community is vital to the solider, the soldier’s family and our community.
Audrey Pet Foundation
Every member of the Telaya team is an avid animal lover. It is a natural fit that we would proudly support the efforts of the Audrey Pet Foundation. The mission of the foundation is to provide assistance for veterinary emergency and/or specialty care for financially disadvantaged pet owners at WestVet Emergency and Specialty Hospital, also located in Garden City. Carrie used to work at WestVet and is very proud of their efforts to develop a formalized plan for financial assistance so that more animal lovers can receive the vital care that their pets need.”
Opera Idaho
Earl and Carrie consider winemaking to be a beautiful combination of both science and art. Though very different in expression, the art showcased by the amazingly talented performers of Opera Idaho is equally as fascinating. Telaya is proud to support the mission of Opera Idaho to foster the enjoyment of opera and related art forms through diverse educational and outreach programs.
BBSEF
Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation is an awesome organization! They believe that ski racing goes beyond just skiing. They focus on the overall impact of skiing that goes well beyond athletic results. Instilling sportsmanship, accountability, building character and confidence. Heather’s love of family and skiing Bogus Basin is why she chose BBSEF for Telaya’s Sip2give program. She and her brother spend most weekends through ski season taking her two nieces to training.
Idaho Jazz Society
The Idaho Jazz Society is all about promoting and encouraging jazz education in Idaho. They do that by providing scholarships, promoting jazz concerts and festivals, providing volunteers for jazz festivals, and collaborating with and between jazz performers and artists in this great state.
Jesse Tree
Jesse Tree of Idaho helps prevent homelessness and evictions in the Treasure Valley by providing a housing crisis line, emergency rental assistance, and supporting households through the eviction court process. Housing is a fundamental component to individual and community health, and the case workers at Jesse Tree provide an essential service for those most at risk in our community. Following the difficulties of 2020 for all, Jesse Tree reminds us all to lead life with compassion for our friends and neighbors.
