Description
The Forever Idaho Regional Grant Program, administered by the Idaho Community Foundation, is a statewide initiative designed to address the evolving needs of Idaho communities through flexible, region-focused funding. The program operates on an annual cycle, with separate deadlines for North & East and Southwest & South Central Idaho, and is ICF’s primary vehicle for regional grantmaking. Grants are intentionally broad, supporting a spectrum of charitable activities—from general operating costs to specific projects—across impact areas such as arts and culture, education, economic opportunity, environment, health, housing, and community benefit. Regional Councils, comprised of local community leaders, review applications and recommend awards to ensure funding aligns with local priorities.
