Idaho Food Bank Fund Grant Applications Opening Soon
The Idaho Food Bank Fund is accepting grant applications during the month of July from Idaho nonprofits that provide hunger relief and/or promote healthy eating. Grant funding is available to help these organizations cover vital costs and activities associated with their work.
Funds can be used to operate programs, purchase food, purchase nutrition education materials, expand capacity (new freezers, shelving, transportation, etc.), or promote access for anyone in need, including underserved and/or marginalized populations.
The Idaho Food Bank Fund was established by the Idaho State Legislature in 2009, and monies are accepted on behalf of donors by the Idaho Tax Commission through what is commonly known as a ‘tax check off’ on Idaho State tax returns. The Idaho Foodbank is the recognized fiduciary agent for the Idaho Food Bank Fund, which is administered through an agreement between The Idaho Foodbank and Catholic Charities of Idaho.

Idaho Food Bank Fund will hold virtual office hours to answer questions you may have about the application and process. Check the website idahofoodbankfund.org for details.
