About United Way of Southeastern Idaho
United Way of Southeastern Idaho concentrates funding on local safety-net and family-support services across southeastern Idaho, consistently supporting health access, senior services, crisis/shelter providers, and child- and family-focused programs. Grants are directed to community-based organizations (clinics, Meals on Wheels, crisis centers, CASA, and youth/family programs) that deliver direct services to vulnerable populations in the region.

About United Way of Southeastern Idaho
United Way of Southeastern Idaho’s recent grantmaking is shaped by repeated support for safety-net providers that serve the same communities year after year. The largest award in the latest set was $52,422 to Pocatello Free Clinic in 2024, followed by another grant to the clinic in 2023, showing sustained backing for local primary care and free-clinic access. That pattern extends to crisis response and shelter work, with Aid for Friends receiving funding for shelter services and Bingham Crisis Center appearing in consecutive years as well. The foundation’s portfolio also reaches senior nutrition, mental health, child advocacy, and family-support programs, but the common thread is direct services for people facing immediate needs in southeastern Idaho. Recent grants include support for community clinics, Meals on Wheels operations, CASA, and early childhood or household stability programs such as BYF and Family Service Alliance of SE Idaho. The record points to program-level grants for organizations that deliver practical support on the ground rather than broad, national initiatives.

Health access is a clear part of the portfolio. In 2024, United Way of Southeastern Idaho gave $52,422 to Pocatello Free Clinic, and in 2023 it made a $28,851 grant to the same organization for human services. Senior support is another recurring area: Seicaa Meals on Wheels received $26,557 in 2024 and $22,367 in 2023, while Bingham County Senior Center, Senior Activity Center, and Shelly Senior Citizens Center also appear in the recent grants list. The foundation also funds crisis and shelter services. Aid for Friends received $26,707 in 2023 and $24,000 in 2024 for shelter services, and Bingham Crisis Center received $11,500 in both 2023 and 2024. For child and family support, 6th Judicial District CASA received grants in 2023 and 2024, and BYF programs such as Bannock House, Nurturing Program, and Baby Steps also appear.
How United Way of Southeastern Idaho Gives
Typical grant sizes cluster in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $9,547, the median is $11,935, and the 75th percentile is $19,129. The recent grants list shows repeat awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including Pocatello Free Clinic, Seicaa Meals on Wheels, Aid for Friends, Bingham Crisis Center, 6th Judicial District CASA, and several BYF programs. That pattern suggests ongoing operating support rather than one-time-only gifts. The foundation operates annual grantmaking programs, including an Annual Grant Process and Community Impact Grants, and both accept unsolicited applications.
