Summary
Each year, a community-focused grant opportunity becomes available to support programs and projects that reflect the unique needs of a rural region in the northern Rocky Mountain area. Grants are designed to benefit charitable organizations and public institutions serving residents in select parts of Idaho and Wyoming. Typical awards range from a few hundred dollars up to $5,000, with the potential for larger funding when projects demonstrate broad collaboration or lasting community impact.
These grants are ideal for nonprofits, local schools, districts, and public agencies. Some fiscally sponsored initiatives may also qualify, provided they show a clear connection to local benefit. Projects considered for funding often include activities related to education, the arts, public services, animal welfare, outdoor recreation, and civic engagement. Organizations may apply for funding to support capital improvements, program development, operational needs, equipment purchases, or planning and training efforts.
Beyond the core annual grant cycle, there are other flexible opportunities offered periodically throughout the year. These include youth-directed grants as well as responsive funds designed to meet timely or emerging community challenges. Though the size and structure of these awards vary, they are united by a shared purpose of strengthening community resilience and well-being.
In addition to grants for organizations, students from the local area may also have access to scholarship funding for post-secondary education. Scholarship amounts vary widely, with some reaching as high as $10,000, and eligibility often tied to residency or school attendance in the region.
This funding initiative aims to support a broad spectrum of local needs by encouraging thoughtful, impactful proposals from mission-driven organizations. By offering modest financial resources, the program helps build capacity, inspire collaboration, and reinforce the social fabric of the communities it serves. Organizations interested in making a difference locally are encouraged to explore these annual and ongoing opportunities.
