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 Idaho Future Fund grant program is centered around improving education in Idaho by providing financial support in four key areas: Preschool Access, Charter Schools, Public Schools and Public School Libraries, and Supplemental Educational Programs. The grants are particularly aimed at projects that either offer pre-kindergarten education, support alternative education models through charter schools, aid public schools and libraries with essential funding for programs, or supply additional educational opportunities that complement public school offerings. The fund typically awards grants ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 to initiatives that strive to make high-quality education accessible to underserved or disadvantaged students, ensuring no program necessary for a child's educational development is discontinued or compromised due to financial constraints.
