Idaho's Innovia Foundation is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and it's giving back in a big way.
The foundation has awarded $446,000 in grants to 48 nonprofit organizations in North Idaho, including $10,000 to the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness, the Spokesman-Review reports.
The Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness will use the grant to fund trail maintenance, first aid training, and CPR training, among other things.
"As Innovia marks 50 years of community impact, we recognize the importance of programs and activities that celebrate the people and places that make our region special," says Innovia CEO Shelly O'Quinn in a press release.
The grants are part of the foundation's annual Community Grants Program, which supports education and youth development, health and wellbeing, arts and culture, economic opportunity, and improved quality of life.
This year, the program distributed a total of $1,089,400 in grants to 112 organizations across 20 counties in eastern Washington and North Idaho. Read the Entire Article
