It is Renewal Season at IWCF
First THANK YOU 🩵 to the 336 members that have renewed and pledged to be a part of the 2026 Pooled Fund.
If you haven’t renewed yet, or are considering rejoining, or bringing a friend to IWCF, this newsletter is filled with many reasons to remind you WHY that’s such a great idea. Some reasons “Why IWCF!”:
- We have generous, fun, and passionate members.
- We have a broad range of education, membership, and service events that are not only informative but also a great place to meet and work with others who have the same desire to be part of helping our community.
- Most importantly, we give large and impactful grants to local nonprofits doing amazing work. We’re growing so we can do more of this!
How We’re Doing for 2026 So Far:
- Confirmed Membership Renewals: 336 of 449 Goal – 75%
- Gives More Campaign Contributions: $211,715 of $300,000 goal – 70.5%
If you still plan to renew (or know someone who does), please do so by January 31st, so we can plan for grants.
We renew because it is also Grants Season 2026!
IWCF wants to give more pooled-fund grants this year because nonprofits are losing significant state and federal funding. In response, IWCF’s goal is to grow our pooled fund to $300,000, which will allow us to fund at least 8 grants (between $20K-$35K each).
By May of 2025, we pooled together over $260,000 to give 8 grants. This year, our goal is $300,000 because we’ve increased the grant size from a maximum of $30,000 to a maximum of $35,000. This increase means that to fund at least 8 grants, we need just a little more.
If you’d like to help, consider giving an extra donation or your IGD to the Grants Pooled Fund! Every membership and every donation helps us make a significant impact in our community.

YOU are the U in volunteer
Volunteers, YOU are the U in volunteer!
IWCF wouldn’t exist without its dedicated volunteers. Some spend LOTS of impactful time (serving on the board or as committee chairs for example), some spend only a few hours as a one-shot helper (e.g, a one-time service project gig). All those efforts are essential and so very appreciated. Here are some ways you might consider volunteering:
- helping as a greeter or name tag distributor/collector or clean up person at an education event or annual meeting
- joining the Marketing Committee (we need writers, editors, creators)
- pitching in at one of Susan Smith’s service projects
- serving on a Grants committee
If the idea of volunteering appeals to you, or you want to know more, contact Marti Agler or Alicia Ritter, Co-Volunteer Coordinators at volunteer@iwcfgives.org.
Specifically, we are in the planning process for the 25th Anniversary Celebration and have some short-term, one-time projects if you would like to help!
- PR ideas and connections
- Copywriting
- Venue coordination
- Data entry and research
- Historical display creation

Featured grantee: Family Health Services
Recaps and topics you may have missed
The Oct. 27th Education Event, “Invest in the Arts, Invest in our Future,” featured Fran Caprai from current grantee Artisans for Hope, as well as presentations from three leading cultural arts nonprofit organizations.
Featured grantee: Fran Caprai from Artisans for Hope – “Where refugees come to connect, learn, create and earn” – updated us that their IWCF grant enabled them to buy new sewing machines, and they now have 50 refugees actively sewing. Because they were able to hire an operations manager, their gift shop is expanding its hours of operation, through which the refugees sell their goods.
Laura Von Boecklin Curry, the Executive Director of the Idaho Commission on the Arts, explained their mission of ensuring all Idahoans have access to the arts, arts education, and their cultural and artistic heritage. The ICA currently receives 50% of its funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and 50% from the State, and are hopeful that this continues. They awarded 79 grants last year from $1K to $10K; recipients varied from the Idaho Film Society to a leather saddle-making internship. The ICA may change their grant model to be more like IWCF and give fewer, but more substantial amounts, due to feedback from grantees that their process is complex for the small amount of money awarded.
Jenifer Johnson, Director of Charitable Giving at PBS Idaho Public Television, shared with us a “sizzle reel” of PBS arts programs, which reach nearly 100% of Idaho households – for free! The majority (69%) of PBS funding comes from private donors. 31% comes from the state, although this funding has dropped by $2.2 million. As a result, PBS has had to cut back on some programming. The good news is private donors continue to step-up.
Idaho Shakespeare Festival grant writer Christine Zimowsky shared with us their colorful 50-year history. A 2014 IWCF grant allowed ISF to purchase a traveling van to take their shows to schools and other locations in all areas of the state. Their education program also includes summer camps, scholarships, accessibility offerings and free tickets to their five-performance season each year. Private donors have continued to support ISF as well, although grants and funding in general continue to be a priority.
“Aging Well: Easing the Journey for Caregivers and Loved Ones” was the topic heard by over 50 attendees at the January 20th IWCF Education event, led by Shaila Buckley, IWCF member and founder of Shaila Buckley Law, a boutique law firm specializing in estate planning.
“Don’t wait”, plan and organize now, when you have the control and autonomy, and it is not an emergency situation, Shaila emphasized. Legal documents, and their locations, need to be shared with children or caregivers. This should include an inventory of your assets (checking accounts, IRAs), household items (art, jewelry) that may be valuable, and other “stuff.” Shaila outlined some of the legal documents everyone, even young adults, should have, with originals kept in an accessible binder. Top of the list are a Power of Attorney (or Durable Power of Attorney), a Power of Attorney for Health Care (or Advanced Directive) and HIPPA authorization. These allow your “agent”, or family member, to make financial and medical decisions if you are incapable of doing so.
She also discussed wills and trusts, plus end-of-life wishes, which are a huge gift to family or agent so they are not burdened with those decisions. The three C’s–Communication of your wishes, Contact with family or caregivers, and Compassion, as the aging process and dealing with these subjects is difficult—are kept in mind as one organizes for that eventuality.
A video of the session is posted on IWCF’s YouTube and for more information we have Shaila’s slides. Attendees left with lots of information plus a copy of her book describing each element in more detail.
Kicking off the lunchtime event was a Grantee Update from Zoe Ann Olsen, Executive Director of the Intermountain Fair Housing Council, Inc. She described the impact of IWCF funding as 200 households who were able to find or stay in their homes, preventing eviction. She emphasized the importance of home ownership in health, employment, education, and as a generational asset to pass on to family. Our funding was a catalyst to additional funding they have received.

2023 Grantees Update – Post Grant Reports
American Farmland Trust: Securing the Future for Agricultural Land in Southwest Idaho – $27,960 
With a 2023 IWCF grant of $27,960, AFT has engaged in efforts to educate farmers, ranchers, landowners, and government staff about land protection opportunities and to build grassroots support for agricultural preservation. AFT has reached 2,746 people, including 957 farmers, and fostered collaborations with local governments, agricultural stakeholders, and the public.
Community Council of Idaho: Expand Access to Citizenship Education Classes – $28,470
IWCF funding provided expanded instruction for citizenship classes, support for individual case management, and citizenship testing and interviewing practice. Terry Blom, Director of Community Relations, Development & Communications, stated: “The grant was really helpful as it not only helped the students become U.S. citizens, but it has also given them the opportunity to know they can do more and be more. Many were interested in continuing their education. We know there will be many testimonials in the future about the change the grant made in their lives.”
Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity: Housing Stabilization for Seniors, Veterans and People with Disabilities via Critical Home Repairs – $23,354
Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity (TVHH) addresses the challenge of low-income individuals, veterans, and people with disabilities struggling to maintain safe living conditions on limited budgets by offering affordable home repairs. The program has helped over 100 individuals/families remain safely in their homes over the past 18 months. 100% of the individuals affected by these home-saving repairs have reported their quality of life improved substantially.
“My life has changed! I feel free again with no fear of falling!” This freedom from fear is tangible in the lives of the people Habitat and IWCF has helped.
Breaking Chains Academy of Development: Canyon County Youth Empowerment – $20,000
The Canyon County Youth Empowerment project has significantly improved outcomes for at-risk youth in Canyon County and surrounding areas. Since the conclusion of the IWCF grant period, they have helped 91 youth who had previously dropped out of school or been expelled earn their GED/HSE. Of these graduates, 77 immediately gained employment and/or continued their education, an achievement made even more remarkable considering these outcomes were produced in a single 690 sq. ft. classroom that seats just 26 students at a time. The program has expanded through partnerships with Canyon County and Ada County Probation, and the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare, reducing recidivism by 43% among probation youth.
Cascade Medical Center: Safe Room for Patients Experiencing Mental Health Crisis – $30,000
Cascade Medical Center (CMC) converted an existing facility into a safe room to house patients who come into the ER experiencing a mental health crisis. The safe room, now used weekly, allows staff to closely monitor patients at risk of harming themselves or others while preserving privacy and comfort through thoughtful design features. Anna Martin, RN a CMC nurse described her experience from IWCF support: “The changes made to room 1 at CMC increased my efficiency of being able to care for a patient in a behavioral health state. The safe room has benefited patients I have cared for by being close to the nurse’s station and being set up for providing immediate care for their behavioral state and maintaining their dignity. A patient can rest in a low stimuli, safe environment until their crisis state lessens.”
Valley Soil and Water Conservation District: No-Till Drill Equipment and Education for Small Acreage Landowners – $23,746
With IWCF funding, Valley Soil and Water Conservation District (VSWCD) acquired a smaller, trailer-mounted no-till drill, making conservation tools safer and more accessible for small acreage landowners. Shared widely across Valley County, the drill has already demonstrated impact, including helping a local cattle operation rejuvenate an unproductive pasture in a single season. VSWCD continues to collaborate with regional partners to educate landowners and promote innovative uses of the drill, including emerging applications such as post-fire reseeding, reinforcing its value as a versatile tool for both conservation and land resilience.
Basin School District 72: Outdoor Education STEM Yurt Lab – $30,000
With IWCF funding of a yurt lab, the Basin School District has enhanced its outdoor education program focused on STEM and outdoor careers, such as geology and forestry, by building an indoor facility like a yurt. Although the project was delayed due to weather, leadership changes, and volunteer availability, the community persevered with a grand opening in May 2025. The Basin School District highlighted this project as a significant milestone in education and community partnerships, emphasizing the opportunity it provides for students.
Boise Rock School/Rock on Wheels: Boise Rock School Venue Completion – $30,000
Boise Rock School (BRS) addressed the lack of a dedicated all-ages arts venue in Boise by creating a space where youth can perform, share their art, and gain hands-on experience in the curation and operation of performances. With a 2023 IWCF grant of $30,000, BRS completed key renovations to their venue. By October 2023, the venue was ready, hosting multiple “session gigs” and events that involved over 50 student bands, as well as performances from local and regional artists. The venue has also been used for large-scale classes and collaborative events with organizations like the Boise Contemporary Theater Lab and the Treefort Music Festival. The improvements made possible through the IWCF grant have expanded BRS’s reach, allowing for increased space, daily use in the summer, and potential future rental income to support the school. The venue has become a central hub for youth and nonprofits in the Treasure Valley, enhancing both the local arts scene and community engagement.
2024 Grantees Updates – End of Grant Reports
McCall Public Library: McCall Library Gallery – $30,000
The McCall Public Library, serving a senior population of 26.7%, created the city’s first free public exhibition space as part of its 2024 Library Expansion Project, with a 2024 IWCF grant of $30,000. The new exhibit gallery, completed by May 2025, provides a venue for local artists and community groups to showcase their work, fostering social engagement and reducing isolation. The first exhibit, launched in June 2025, featured diverse displays, including works by painter Kristin Eames and historical exhibits from the McCall Ski Heritage Foundation. The gallery has brought together people from different backgrounds, sparking meaningful connections. Located next to the main library, it has also increased visibility for the library, with several IWCF members visiting, expressing appreciation, and contributing donations. The gallery has not only enriched the community’s cultural life but also deepened support for the library’s ongoing work.
Boys and Girls Club of Ada County: Providing Access to STEM Programming to Girls in Kuna – $25,000
The Boys & Girls Club of Ada County aims to close the gender gap in STEM education by engaging girls ages 5-18 in daily STEM programming that fosters confidence, awareness, and interest in STEM fields. With a 2024 IWCF grant of $25,000, the club established a STEM lab in Kuna, providing young girls with access to role models, hands-on experiments, and opportunities to learn through a growth mindset. In its first year, 297 girls and 683 youth participated, resulting in 5,327 recorded STEM interactions. The program helps girls develop skills in science, technology, engineering, architecture, and math, building their confidence and increasing the likelihood they will pursue STEM careers. A parent’s testimonial highlights the impact, noting how the club provides structured, enjoyable learning opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable, making a positive difference in both the children’s lives and their families.
Snake River Water Keepers (SRWKs): Protecting Water Quality for Idahoans – $20,000
Snake River Waterkeeper, Inc. (SRW) addressed widespread water quality impairments in the Snake River Basin by expanding monitoring, education, and cleanup efforts to protect Idaho’s waterways and drinking water supply. With a $20,000 IWCF grant in 2024, SRW strengthened its Water Quality Program by supporting water testing, data analysis, volunteer recruitment, and community cleanup outings. During the season, SRW exceeded its goals by monitoring 22 sites, conducting 70 water quality tests, training 45 volunteers, and increasing SWIM Guide usage from 18,000 to over 23,000 views, providing real-time safety information to the public. Through Clean Water Act advocacy and hands-on river cleanups conducted in partnership with community groups, SRW removed hundreds of pounds of trash while engaging citizens and students in watershed protection. The program’s success reflects the combined impact of data-driven advocacy, volunteer service, and public engagement in safeguarding the Snake River and its tributaries for recreation, tourism, and public health.
Boise Vertical Farm, Inc: Providing Economical Development for People in Recovery from Drug and Alcohol Addiction – $30,000
Boise Vertical Farm (BVF) addressed employment barriers faced by people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction by expanding mentorship, training, and workforce development opportunities through a 2024 IWCF grant of $30,000. During the grant period, BVF adapted its original one-year plan into a two-year project to better reflect market realities, forming key partnerships with Greenscale to provide preferred employment opportunities and with the Ada/Canyon County Sheriff’s Alternative Sentencing Program to increase participant enrollment. The program grew to nearly 50 participants, significantly increased average community service hours from 28 to over 60 per person, and supported transportation needs through bus passes and gas assistance. BVF also strengthened its path toward sustainability by expanding produce sales to local restaurants and retailers, demonstrating measurable progress in workforce readiness, economic opportunity, and long-term recovery support.
Jesse Tree of Idaho: Jesse Tree Community Health Resource Closet – $30,000
Jesse Tree identified a critical need for support among the ALICE population, who often can’t access essential social services like SNAP due to their employment status, despite earning below a livable wage. In response, they launched the Community Health Resource Closet (CHRC) to provide basic necessities such as hygiene kits, gas cards, and household supplies to renters at risk of eviction. With a $30,000 grant from IWCF, the program has served 450 households as of October 2025, with increasing success driven by improved outreach and new partnerships. Notably, Jesse Tree reallocated funds to meet higher-than-expected demand for items like grocery gift cards, helping families stay housed by enabling them to cover rent. Collaborations with local businesses, schools, and faith organizations have expanded resources and visibility, supporting long-term housing stability and fostering community connections.
Shepherd’s Home: Provide Privacy Fencing at our Foster/Shelter Care Home in McCall Idaho – $30,000 
The Shepherd’s Home, a foster care support shelter in McCall, recognized the growing need for a safe environment for children entering the foster care system due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. To enhance safety and privacy, the home installed a privacy fence around its property, funded by a 2024 IWCF grant of $30,000. The fencing project, completed in October 2024, provides the children with a secure outdoor space for play and offers peace of mind to house parents. The home collaborates with local attorneys, juvenile probation officers, and the Department of Health and Welfare to serve the rural community, where access to emergency care is crucial. The added security system, funded through donations, further enhances the safety of the home, ensuring the well-being of the children. The Shepherd’s Home’s work was highlighted at an IWCF luncheon in June 2025, deepening the organization’s connection with the community and the foundation.
Intermountain Fair Housing Council Inc: Tenant Organizing and Legal Services for Tenants Facing Mass Evictions from Redevelopment, Rent Hikes, Housing Closures and the like – $30,000
Intermountain Fair Housing Council, Inc. (IFHC) responded to rising mass evictions affecting underserved communities by expanding tenant education, organizing, and legal support across Idaho. With a 2024 IWCF grant of $30,000, IFHC trained two staff members to conduct tenant intakes and provide fair housing rights education, eviction prevention guidance, and support for tenant organizing. As a result, 187 intakes were completed, more than 200 tenants were educated on their rights, and eviction clinics connected tenants with legal assistance, helping resolve cases involving rent settlements, harassment, and reasonable accommodation requests. Notably, no mass evictions occurred in the counties served by the grant during this period. Through unique collaboration with pro bono and low-cost legal partners and organizations such as Jesse Tree, IFHC achieved tangible outcomes, including preventing evictions for seniors, people with disabilities, and families, demonstrating the power of education and legal advocacy in promoting housing stability and equity.
Weiser Hospital Foundation: Bridging Gaps to Better Health – $24,000
Weiser Memorial Hospital (WMH) launched the Bridging Gaps to Better Health project to address the critical transportation barriers preventing rural residents from accessing medical care in Washington, Adams, and Payette Counties. With a 2024 IWCF grant of $24,000, WMH partnered with the Weiser Activity Center for Seniors to operate an ADA-accessible van and provide gas cards for medical travel. By October 2025, the program delivered 551 van rides and distributed 317 gas cards, enabling consistent access to local and regional healthcare services. The initiative expanded to offer out-of-town transportation five days a week, supported by additional funding for a dedicated medical transport van, and is strengthened by ongoing Community Conversations and collaboration with healthcare providers, senior centers, and social service agencies. The program’s impact is reflected in individual successes, including helping a behavioral health patient secure housing and maintain therapy, demonstrating how reliable transportation can be a turning point for both health and stability.
