Reduce hunger and improve the lives of struggling working parents, children and seniors by providing year‑round access to nutritious food and supporting hunger‑relief and education programs across Idaho.
Idaho Foodbank Warehouse directs nearly all of its grantmaking into Idaho-based hunger relief, with repeated seven-figure awards to local food banks and pantry partners across the state. In the latest grants, Community Food Basket Idaho Falls received multiple grants above $2.3 million and $2.6 million, while Meridian Food Bank also appears with several large awards near or above $2 million. That pattern shows a funder built around sustained distribution relationships rather than isolated project grants. The foundation supports access to nutritious food for working parents, children, seniors, and rural communities, and its grant list reflects that mission through food banks, church-based pantries, senior-serving organizations, and rescue missions. Boise, Caldwell, Nampa, Blackfoot, Star, and Pocatello all appear among recent recipients, suggesting a broad Idaho network rather than a single-city focus. Some grantees recur across 2023 and 2025, including Meridian Food Bank, Oasis Worship and Food Center, Bingham County Senior Citizens Inc, Star Food Bank, and Valley Mission Food Pantry. Those repeats point to ongoing operating support for established local providers.
Food distribution is the clearest throughline in the grant record. Idaho Foodbank Warehouse gave $2,377,112 and $2,340,253 to Meridian Food Bank in 2025, along with $2,612,613 and $2,473,145 to Community Food Basket Idaho Falls, all tied to local access work. The foundation also backs church- and mission-based hunger relief. It awarded $2,000,720 to Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Boise Inc in 2025 and $1,494,849 to Oasis Worship and Food Center in Caldwell, showing a preference for community anchors that combine food service with neighborhood support. Older adults are another visible priority. Bingham County Senior Citizens Inc received $1,331,570 in 2023 and $917,651 in 2025, while Valley Mission Food Pantry in Pocatello appeared with large awards in both years, including $818,286 in 2025.
Typical grants are sizable: the p25 is $14,793, the median is $34,133, and the p75 is $103,021. The recent-grants list also shows a separate cluster of very large operating-style awards in the millions, indicating a mix of routine grants and major partner support. Recurring grantees are common; Meridian Food Bank, Oasis Worship and Food Center, Bingham County Senior Citizens Inc, Star Food Bank, and Valley Mission Food Pantry all appear in both 2023 and 2025. Idaho Foodbank Warehouse is a local funder, gives to organizations rather than individuals, and does not make program-related investments.

Grantmaking is overwhelmingly concentrated in Idaho: 99% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and the recipient-country data shows all grants in the US. Recent awards reach Idaho Falls, Meridian, Boise, Caldwell, Nampa, Blackfoot, Star, Pocatello, Garden City, Twin Falls, and Ada County. Boise appears frequently, but Idaho Falls and Meridian stand out for the largest individual awards. The pattern is statewide within Idaho rather than tied to one metro area.
The grant list centers on food banks, pantries, and hunger-relief providers, including organizations such as Community Food Basket Idaho Falls, Meridian Food Bank, Oasis Worship and Food Center, and Valley Mission Food Pantry.

The typical grant profile is $14,793 at the 25th percentile, $34,133 at the median, and $103,021 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants table also includes many awards in the hundreds of thousands and several in the multi-million-dollar range.
