The Harad Family Foundation concentrates its giving locally in the Boise/Ada County area, funding organizations that provide youth development, school support, and family-oriented recreational or cultural services. Their largest gifts go to a small set of community institutions—public school fundraising, the YMCA, youth clubs, and the city zoo—indicating a focus on improving educational opportunities, afterschool programming, and community amenities for families and children.
Concentrated, local giving: few but relatively large grants to core community institutions rather than many small grants; funds are directed to repeat, high-impact organizations serving children, schools, and family services within Boise/Ada County.
A defining feature of the Harad Family Foundation is the size and consistency of its local support for Boise-area public institutions and youth-serving organizations. Its largest recent gift was a $225,000 general-support grant to Treasure Valley Family YMCA in 2023, followed by a $155,000 general-support grant to Boise Public Schools Foundation in 2025. Those two grants reflect a pattern of flexible funding for organizations tied to children, education, and family services. The foundation also backed Friends of Zoo Boise with $51,000 in 2025 and Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada Country with $50,000 in 2025, reinforcing a grantmaking profile centered on afterschool opportunities, family recreation, and community amenities. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly used general support rather than project-specific awards, suggesting a preference for giving organizations operating room. Its portfolio includes school enhancement, youth development, family wellness, and civic or cultural institutions, all within Idaho. The named recipients range from Boise Public Schools Foundation and Idaho Non-profit Center to Interfaith Sanctuary and Idaho Public Television, showing a mix of direct service, capacity support, and community-based programming.
Education is a clear thread in the Harad Family Foundation’s giving. In 2025, it gave $155,000 to Boise Public Schools Foundation for general support, and in 2023 it made a separate $30,000 general-support grant to the same organization. It also awarded $10,000 to College of Idaho in 2023 and $5,000 to Learning Lab in both 2023 and 2025. Youth and family services appear across several grants. The foundation provided $50,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada Country in 2025 and $17,775 to Interfaith Sanctuary in 2025, plus $11,500 to the same organization in 2023. It also supported Treasure Valley Inst for Childrens with $5,000 in 2023 and Idaho AEYC with $1,000 in 2023. Cultural and community institutions are also part of the portfolio. Grants include $17,500 to Boise Art Museum in 2023 and $10,000 in 2025, $11,000 to Idaho Public Television in 2025, and $4,000 to Sun Valley Writer's Conference in 2025.
The Harad Family Foundation’s recent grants cluster around a relatively broad middle range, with a typical gift size of $1,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $11,500 at the 75th percentile. The distribution includes a small number of much larger general-support awards alongside many smaller operating grants. Its giving shows repetition over time: several recipients appear in both 2023 and 2025, including Boise Public Schools Foundation, Idaho Non-profit Center, Idaho Public Television, Learning Lab, Friends of Zoo Boise, and Women's and Children's Alliance. The foundation also appears to favor flexible support, since the listed grants are overwhelmingly labeled general support. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
