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 by the Bonner County Fund for Arts Enhancement aims to not only support arts initiatives that go beyond mere entertainment but also stress the importance of creative and critical thinking, stimulate economic vitality, and improve the quality of life within the community. It emphasizes educational aspects within the arts, supporting a wide array of art forms including performance, visual, and literary arts, as well as educational lecture series and seminars targeted at the community. The fund is especially interested in projects that reach a broad community or school audience, increase awareness of the arts' critical role in a vibrant community, and highlight the benefits of artistic diversity in Bonner County.
