Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit with demonstrated local or regional impact (especially in Idaho), working in wildlife conservation, community services, health, camps, or education and able to accept mid-sized grants and provide brief reporting when invited.
Good Fit
- • Organizational presence or program activity in Idaho or the broader region.
- • Project budgets in the typical range observed (roughly $5K–$55K).
- • Work in wildlife conservation, animal welfare, community camps, health charities, or local education.
- • A local referral, board-level introduction, or prior relationship to sponsors or advisors.
- • Capacity to receive and use unrestricted or program support without a competitive public process.
Geography
Grants in 2023 went to organizations in five states, but 76% of dollars were directed to Idaho; the footprint is state-focused with some out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
Seventeen distinct recipients were funded in 2023 across wildlife, camps, animal welfare, health and education, indicating a broad recipient set despite dollar concentration in a few grants.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected organizations and no public submission route or contact details are visible; that pattern makes it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant can enter the portfolio without a referral.
