What is the Idaho Community Foundation?

2020 Impact Report Cover

The Idaho Community Foundation is one of more than 1,600 community foundations around the world and we provide a way for people of all income levels to make a lasting difference in Idaho. We serve all 44 Idaho counties and we help build and strengthen communities by bringing people together and using the power of collective giving.

Individuals, families, businesses and other nonprofits can establish permanent or temporary charitable funds at the Idaho Community Foundation to provide support for the causes and organizations they care about most. Community foundations are recognized by the IRS as tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofits, so gifts to community foundations are eligible for tax deductions.

The Idaho Community Foundation also offers grants to nonprofits, schools and other organizations and provides scholarships to students. Money for grants and scholarships comes from charitable funds established by donors.
