Selection Criteria
IWCF funds services in the following southwest Idaho counties: Ada, Adams, Boise, Camas, Canyon, Elmore, Gem, Owyhee, Payette, Valley and Washington (Idaho Department of Health & Welfare Regions 3 & 4)
IWCF may disburse funds to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, educational institutions, government agencies, and tax-exempt religious entities.
Funds can be distributed over one or two years, but we do expect the money to be spent in the year it is received.
They are seeking creative approaches to community challenges, and a plan for sustainability beyond IWCF funding.
