What We Are: Fund for Idaho is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit grant-making foundation created by activists to help to build a civil, just and sustainable Idaho. Idaho is blessed with natural beauty, an independent western culture, and abundant resources, and we are part of the changing world. Each donation to Fund for Idaho is a building block helping create a just, compassionate, environmentally sound and healthy society in Idaho.
What's Happening: Fund for Idaho is a strong partner in Idaho's vibrant Progressive grassroots nonprofit community. Our recent activities include:
| Fund for Idaho is holding its annual Fall Forum on November 12th from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Idaho Education Association building at 620 N 6th St. In addition to highlighting the work of our grantees over the past year, will be presenting the first Idaho Community Catalyst Award to Mary K. Aucutt. We created this award to recognize and celebrate extraordinary service to Idaho’s grassroots and nonprofit organizations. We chose Mary K as our first award recipient to honor her lifetime of service to Idaho's nonprofit organizations and community groups working to improve Idaho. Thanks to Mary K’s assistance, countless Idaho nonprofits were able to implement their vision of a just, compassionate and environmentally healthy Idaho that is respectful of its history and its peoples.
