We've got a lot growing for Idaho Gives this year!

Idaho Gives is happening May 4th - 7th!
A beautiful garden is an oasis - a refuge from the troubles of the world where we root into what is real and cultivate peace. Much like that garden, BAC is a place to unplug, rest, and heal. But no garden flourishes on its own. It depends on sunlight and rain, pollinators and birds, rich soil and dedicated hands to thrive.
BAC would not exist without YOU,
our very own pollinators, gardeners, and seed-bringers, who return again and again to keep our shared clinic growing and thriving.
We acknowledge that for many, including us, this has not felt like an abundant year. Fortunately, our roots run deep - over these four days, we draw nourishment from our community so we can continue to show up and provide you with the relief and comfort you deserve.
Your support during Idaho Gives helps us:
Keep acupuncture affordable and available seven days a week.
Provide fair, sustainable wages for our experienced team.
Support & grow our outreach efforts to where it is most needed in our community.
This year we invite you to join us in practicing peace and cultivating community. Together we can flourish, no matter what challenges life throws in our path.
Whether you can give $5, $500 or $5,000 - every gift is a treasure. We thank you for your support and for being part of BAC; we see you and we love you.
💙 The BAC Team
(Donations made before May 4th are still gratefully accepted, but won't show up on our fundraising page until the start of Idaho Gives)
Here are a handful of opportunities for you to show up for your clinic over the next week:
BAC Plant Sale | Friday May 1st - Friday May 8th
In the spirit of abundance and growing together, we are hosting an Idaho Gives Plant Sale at the clinic! We have veggies, herbs, flowers, and perennials for sale - all cultivated by our very own community. Stop by the clinic to pick up a few plants for your garden and help support BAC at the same time!
A big thank you to North End Organic Nursery for their generous donation of tomato and flower starts!
AcuSound Fundraiser | Saturday, May 2nd @ 7pm-8:15pm
Good vibrations, potent points, and an opportunity for you to give to BAC, all wrapped up into one night!
Our team will curate a soundscape and set of 4-6 acupuncture points to support your body and align with our intention of abundance and reciprocity.
Karaoke Throwdown | Monday, May 4th @ 5pm | Shrine Social Club Ballroom 1118 W. Idaho St. Boise, ID
We’re excited to be part of the 3rd Annual Idaho Gives Karaoke Throwdown!
Come out to support amazing local nonprofits, sing along to some throwback tunes, and join us in community.
We’ll be there spreading the word about BAC and offering a special treatment package just for the event. Stop by, say hello, and join us for a good time (and a good deal)!
BAC Pollinator Match | Tuesday, May 5th
To help us build momentum, our staff and volunteers have come together to offer a $1,000 Pollinator Match on the second day of Idaho Gives. That means every dollar donated on May 5th will be matched, up to $1,000!
BAC Ecosystem of Care Match | Wednesday, May 6th
To help us get over the finish line, our family and friends have come together to offer a $4,000 Ecosystem of Care Match on the third day of Idaho Gives. That means every dollar donated on May 6th will be matched, up to $4,000!
The Last Stretch | Thursday, May 7th @ 6pm MST
Thursday is the last day of Idaho Gives! On May 7th at 6pm, all $200 donations will be matched through Idaho Gives’ Last Stretch (up to $30,000 in total matching funds).
Last year, these funds ran out in under 2 minutes. If you’re planning to give at this level, we recommend setting a reminder so you don’t miss the window!
Whether your gift is matched or not, a $200 donation goes a long way in supporting accessible, community-driven acupuncture care at BAC.
