Since 1988, the Idaho Community Foundation (ICF) has worked across Idaho with the goal of connecting generous individuals with trusted, deserving organizations. ICF aims to offer a variety of fully tax-deductible options to support causes, communities, or organizations, promising a brighter future for Idahoans through investments that last forever. With local knowledge on critical issues faced by nonprofits, ICF seeks to connect them with donors and partners, providing financial support through a streamlined grant process.
The grant program focuses on supporting military veterans through a range of services tailored to individual needs, emphasizing the principle of direct assistance. Grants, varying from $250 to $1,500, are allocated for charitable purposes. The program particularly supports initiatives involving the provision of essential needs like food and firewood, emergency relief including rent and utility assistance, medical equipment distribution/lending, and outreach to homeless veterans or those not currently engaged with veteran services.
