Inspired by the legacy of her late father, Dr. Mun, whose lifelong commitment to philanthropy and community service profoundly shaped her life.Founder Ms. Nicky Dare carried forward his passion for helping others following his passing in 1996. Through years of service, education, and community outreach, that commitment evolved into a broader vision of empowering individuals, families, and communities through preparedness, sustainability, resilience, and education.In 2013, that vision was formally established as iDARE, Inc., a federally recognized 501(c)(3) public charity.

In honor of the generations whose commitment to helping others continues to guide our mission.
