About Idaho Resilience Project
The Idaho Resilience Project focuses on place-based investments in Idaho K–12 schools and community organizations that build resilience for children and families. Grants fund arts-integrated school projects and curriculum development, youth prevention and mental-health supports, and direct services for victims of domestic violence and family crisis. Most awards are project-specific, supporting events, trainings, and materials rather than general operating budgets.

About Idaho Resilience Project
Idaho Resilience Project Inc’s recent giving centers on Idaho schools and family-support organizations, with the largest award going to Wilder School District for curriculum development through an animation contract. That pattern points to a funder that uses project grants to strengthen resilience for children and families through school-based learning, creative programming, and direct support services. In 2024, the foundation backed both education-oriented work and crisis-response services, including a mural project for Murtaugh School District and training for Safe Families for Children volunteers through Lutheran Community Services Northwest. The grant list also shows support for middle-school prevention work, pediatric mental-health materials and training, and domestic-violence assistance. Awards are typically tied to a specific project, event, training, or materials purchase rather than unrestricted operating support. The foundation’s portfolio reflects a local Idaho focus and a practical approach to building capacity in settings where children, caregivers, and community partners intersect.
What Idaho Resilience Project Funds
In school-based programming, Idaho Resilience Project Inc supported curriculum and creative projects with $40,000 to Wilder School District for animation curriculum development and $30,000 to Sixes Creative LLC for the Murtaugh School District mural. Those awards align with its emphasis on arts integration and student engagement. In youth prevention, it gave $20,000 to Prevention Associates of Idaho for the Middle School Challenge, showing a separate stream of support for adolescent behavioral-health and prevention work. Family and crisis services also appear in the record: $22,600 went to Lutheran Community Services Northwest for Safe Families for Children volunteer training, and $12,000 went to Family Justice Center Foundation of Idaho to help victims of abuse create safety plans, file for protection orders, and locate community resources. A further $15,000 supported pediatric mental-health kits and training through Ello LLC.
How Idaho Resilience Project Gives
Typical awards fall in a moderate project-grant range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $15,000, and the 75th percentile is $22,600. The recent record shows a mix of smaller and larger targeted awards, from $10,000 grants to a $40,000 curriculum project. The pattern is project-specific rather than unrestricted, with funding tied to contracts, trainings, events, kits, and other defined deliverables. The grant list provided is entirely from 2024, so the snapshot shows one year of activity rather than a multi-year recurrence pattern. Idaho Resilience Project Inc is a foundation, not a fund that gives to individuals, and it does not make program-related investments.
