Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit (often Idaho‑based) working on veterans' services, education or youth sports, with capacity to manage mid‑to‑large grants and local credibility or referrals.
Good Fit
- • Established veteran-support programs or organizations serving Idaho veterans
- • Education or scholarship programs tied to the foundation’s local focus
- • Youth sports or youth golf programs operating in Idaho
- • Existing relationships or referrals from local partners, board members, or past grantees
- • Program capacity to absorb grants in the ~$25k–$220k range
Geography
Giving is strongly concentrated in Idaho; in 2024 about 91% of dollars stayed in the foundation’s home state and only two states received grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 18 distinct recipients with a mix of veterans groups, educational institutions and youth sports programs, and 11 repeat grantees across the observed period, indicating a moderate spread of independent recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is mixed: the foundation added seven new grantees in 2024 (about 39%), but public materials state grants are by preselection/invitation, so new entrants are possible but appear to rely on referrals or being chosen rather than a standard open application.
