Public Charities and Foundations Benefit Idaho Communities
Deliver vital community services
The Cascade Division of the Salvation Army serves the hungry, homeless, and
impoverished throughout Southern Idaho and Oregon, providing more than 106,337
nights of lodging and 768,380 meals to needy residents in 2018. In addition to its
anti-hunger initiatives and disaster preparedness programs, the Council conducts
enrichment services for seniors and youth.
Give voice to the people they serve
Established in 2010, the Anna Schindler Foundation is dedicated to raising money
for families whose children have been diagnosed with cancer and to fostering
awareness of the disease. In 2017, the Foundation began building Anna’s Homes,
an initiative to provide out-of-town families receiving treatment at Sacred Heart
Children’s Hospital with a safe and peaceful home.
Contribute to vibrant communities
Headquartered in Boise, Ore-Ida Council Boys Scouts of America provides high
quality programming to more than 14,500 youth and their families in Southwest
Idaho and Eastern Oregon.
Advance solutions for challenges facing society
The mission of the Sun Valley Music Festival is to perform exceptional, free admission classical music concerts that inspire and enrich lives through dynamic, engaging artistic programming and to provide music education programs for youth
and adults. Committed to outreach, the Symphony also provides music education
and performance opportunities to area students of all levels, free of charge.
