Area nonprofits awarded recovery fund grants
BOISE, Idaho (KIFI)-The Idaho Community Foundation announced an additional $527,000 from the COVID-19 Response and Recovery Fund for Idaho will be used to help community organizations across the state help low-income individuals and families.
Nearly $1.9 million has been awarded since the pandemic began. Most of the grants were awarded between April and June. After observing a surge in COVID-19 cases in late 2020, the Steering Committee released additional funds to help vulnerable populations deal with homelessness, housing instability, food insecurity, domestic violence, physical or mental healthcare, and child care and early education.
The foundation streamlined the process by awarding December grants to past grantees, so no application process was required.
