The following is a press release from the Community Foundation of Idaho.
The Community Foundation of Idaho supports nearly 60 schools, senior centers and other community organizations with more than $220,000 in grants through its Forever Idaho East program.
Beneficiaries span from Lemhi County to Bear Lake County. One of the unique aspects of Forever Idaho grants is that they are flexible and can be used for the recipients’ most important needs.
“Time passes between when someone applies for a Forever Idaho grant and when they receive it. Their needs may change during this time,” said Lisa Bearg, senior philanthropy adviser at ICF. “We want our grants to be as responsive as possible.”
