COVID-19 left hundreds of Idaho nonprofits in distress –– events were canceled and postponed, leaving a critical cash gap for many organizations. The Idaho Nonprofit Center has continued to provide information to the public in order to help boost nonprofits who are in need. The Idaho Nonprofit Center continues to be a resource for nonprofits to turn to.
Celebrating 20 years in Idaho, the Idaho Nonprofit Center's goal is to represent, highlight, and work alongside charitable organizations statewide to make Idaho a better home. With over 7,000+ registered organizations, what better way to celebrate the Idaho Nonprofit Center than 20 ways you can give back to an organization.
