provide nutrition awareness, promote healthy eating, or relieve hunger. Funds can be used to

The Idaho Food Bank Fund was established by the Idaho State Legislature in 2009 and provides
financial support to Idaho nonprofits. It is administered by Catholic Charities of Idaho and The
Idaho Foodbank. The fund is financed by the generosity of the Idaho taxpayers when they donate
through a “check off” box on their Idaho State tax returns. In 2023 grants totaling $139,600 were
allocated to 37 statewide nonprofits that provide critical nutrition education and hunger relief
services across the state.
- Hunger relief organizations serving Idahoans are eligible to apply for these grants
