Ideal Applicant
A local Idaho nonprofit, school district, government agency, or community group seeking modest project or equipment funding (typically a few thousand dollars) and able to apply during the foundation's posted cycles.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Idaho or runs a clear Idaho program.
- • Request is for equipment, building/facility improvements, or small program support under roughly $5K–$6K.
- • Applicant is a recognized charity, school district, or local government entity.
- • Project aligns with community services, education, food security, youth development, or health-related equipment needs.
- • Applicant can meet simple application form requirements (name, address, IRS status, request information) and deadlines.
Geography
Observed giving across all available years is entirely in Idaho; each year's filings show 100% of grant counts and dollars going to in-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows about 34 distinct recipients with a high rate of new grantees (31 new in the latest year) and only three recurring recipients across the three-year period, indicating a broad and rotating portfolio of independent local organizations.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports newcomer access: the foundation posts application cycles, provides an online portal and contact details, and the observed grant history shows many first-time recipients in each year, suggesting unfamiliar applicants can realistically enter the portfolio.
