Company Profile
Idaho Community Foundation
Company Overview
The Beginning of a Statewide Vision
In 1988, the Whittenberger Foundation approached Boise Cascade Chairman and CEO John Fery with an idea: Idaho needed a community foundation to ensure charitable giving reached every corner of the state. Together, they envisioned a statewide source of philanthropy and rallied support from businesses, individuals, and communities.
From the start, our founders committed to statewide representation and equitable grantmaking. Principles that still guide us today. In 1991, we awarded our first grants: 31 awards totaling $164,000. Since then, more than $220 million has been invested in Idaho communities in all 44 counties.
As Idaho's only statewide community foundation, we are committed to supporting every corner of our state — from Bonner County to Bear Lake and all the miles in between.
Our impact is reflected in stories of change, special initiatives, and statewide efforts to connect Idahoans and strengthen nonprofits.
