Description
The Forever Idaho Regional Grant Program, managed by the Idaho Community Foundation, provides flexible, unrestricted funding to address evolving needs in Idaho communities. Through four distinct regional grant cycles, the program supports a wide variety of projects and organizations—ranging from arts and culture to health, education, housing, environment, and community benefit. Grants are designed to empower local organizations to respond to changing challenges and opportunities, with decisions made by regional councils of local leaders and community representatives. Funding may be used for general operating expenses, program costs, capital improvements, or other direct and indirect organizational needs.
