Description
The Forever Idaho Regional Grant Program is designed to address the evolving needs of Idaho communities by providing flexible, unrestricted funding to nonprofits and government entities across the state. Funded by donor contributions, the program operates through four distinct regional cycles (Northern, Eastern, Southwestern, and South Central Idaho), ensuring resources are directed to where they are most needed. Grants may be used for any direct or indirect organizational costs, including general operations, project expenses, equipment, capital improvements, and programmatic needs. The program is committed to trust-based philanthropy, meaning grantees are not required to submit formal reports.
