How We Work in Communities
We help our fundholders support communities in ways that are meaningful to them.
Our grants come from ICF charitable giving funds, each created by an individual, family or company to meet their philanthropic goals. Through them, we’ve awarded more than $165 million in all 44 counties in Idaho.
We listen to communities.
To meet the needs of a growing and changing Idaho, ICF is doing more than ever before. By 2028, our goal is to award $20 million in grants annually throughout the state, nearly double our current grantmaking.
We help Idaho nonprofits, schools and community organizations grow and thrive.
All ICF grants go to organizations that strengthen the fabric of our communities.
