The Chadwick Foundation funds small, local civic and community organizations in and around Soda Springs, ID, with an emphasis on supporting fraternal service clubs, scholarships for local students, and community amenities. Grants skew toward place-based projects and operating/support gifts for parks, homeowner associations, and memorial/community foundations, showing a focus on sustaining local civic life and recreational infrastructure.
A $50,000 grant to Caribou Memorial Foundation stands out in the Chadwick Foundation’s recent giving and points to a local, community-centered grantmaker with a strong interest in Soda Springs institutions. Across the recent grants list, the foundation supports charitable-purpose organizations, scholarship recipients, and civic groups that serve residents in and around Soda Springs, Idaho. The largest awards go to organizations tied to community life and local services, while smaller grants are spread across students and neighborhood groups. The foundation’s pattern suggests a mix of support for civic infrastructure and direct assistance to individuals. It funded Soda Springs Lions and Friends of Soda Springs City Park in 2025, and it also awarded scholarships to named students in Soda Springs, Grace, Pocatello, Provo, and other nearby places. That combination shows a funder working at the neighborhood level, with grants that help sustain local amenities, student aid, and volunteer-led service organizations. The recent record also shows repeat support for the same community entities across 2024 and 2025, including Caribou Memorial Foundation and Main Street Cruisers. In practice, the Chadwick Foundation gives to organizations and people that are already embedded in the local civic fabric, rather than to distant or national causes.
Scholarship funding is a clear theme. In 2025, the foundation gave $39,755 to Mesquite Elks for scholarship, and it also made multiple smaller scholarship grants to named individuals, including Emilee May and Haley Leadbetter. Community organizations connected to local service clubs are another focus. The Chadwick Foundation awarded $10,000 to Soda Springs Lions for organizations charitable purposes, and it gave $2,500 to Grace Chamber of Commerce for organization support. It also supports local recreation and civic amenities. Friends of Soda Springs City Park received $5,000 for organization support, while Blackfoot Harbor Hoa received $4,438 for community support. The grant list includes county fair support as well. Brigham Porter received $2,500 for county fair support, showing that the foundation also backs community events and seasonal local programming.
Typical grants are small: the p25 is $1,000, the median is $2,000, and the p75 is $2,000. That distribution shows a program built around modest awards, with a few much larger grants at the top of the list. The foundation funds both organizations and individuals, and the recent record includes repeat recipients across 2024 and 2025, such as Caribou Memorial Foundation and Main Street Cruisers. It also appears to make grant decisions directly rather than through a public application structure, since no application process is indicated in the data.
