Celebrate Idaho Gives: Strengthening Our Communities Together

Last updated April 30, 2024 by Totally Boise

From April 29 to May 2, 2024, get ready to show your Idaho pride and give back to the community during Idaho Gives. Presented by the Idaho Nonprofit Center and sponsored by Idaho Central Credit Union, this event shines a spotlight on the nonprofits that make our state a better place to live.

Why We All Love Idaho Gives

Idaho Gives isn’t just a charity event; it’s a state-wide celebration of the good we can do when we come together. It’s about neighbors helping neighbors and empowering the organizations that work tirelessly to support our communities. With the backing of Idaho Central Credit Union, Idaho Gives is calling on the generosity of the Idahoan community spirit, showcasing the power of local giving.

A Brief Look at Past Successes

Since its conception in 2013, Idaho Gives has grown, helping more nonprofits reach their goals each year. Last year alone, we saw over 13,000 donors raise nearly $3.7 million in just four days—a testament to the generosity of Idahoans. Since 2013, the generosity has been clear, with every giving season outdoing the last in funds raised and lives touched.

Supporting the Backbone of Idaho: Nonprofits

At the core of Idaho Gives is the Idaho Nonprofit Center, dedicated to bolstering the state’s 9,000+ nonprofits. They're not just about advocacy; they offer training and resources that these organizations need to succeed. By participating in Idaho Gives, you’re helping them continue this vital support.
