    Summary

    The Idaho Community Foundation (ICF) helps nonprofits meet the issues of today through grant programs to address Idaho's diverse needs. ICF believes philanthropy is more successful, rewarding and effective when it's community driven. The foundation makes grants in a variety of ways, including through more than 15 programs with their own eligibility, review processes and award amounts.


    Statewide Grants:

    • Forever Idaho Regional Grant Program: The Forever Idaho Regional Grant Program connects passionate donors with community needs for maximum impact. The program is based on ICF's philosophy of community-driven philanthropy and distributes greatest need funding through grants made in four regional cycles. This program awards general operating grants. If awarded, funds may be used for any direct or indirect costs related to the organization's activities, including payroll, rent, utilities, supplies and equipment, project costs, capital improvements, and/or programmatic needs. Areas of impact include Arts & Culture, Community Benefit, Educational & Economic Opportunities, Environment & Animal Welfare, Health and Wellness, and Housing Stability.
    • Idaho Future Fund: Intended to support gaps in educational programs (preschool through 12th grade) that gravely affect the quality of education students receive in Idaho. Focus areas include Preschool Scholarships, Charter Schools, Public Schools/Public School Libraries and Supplemental Educational Programs. 
    • Student Loan Fund of Idaho Education Fund: Provides grants for two- and four-year colleges and universities in the state of Idaho to encourage upper class students to complete their postsecondary education by providing financial assistance when unusual or unexpected financial problems might preclude continuing in school.
