We all need support from our communities. But to serve us, those communities need our support too, perhaps now more than ever. Idaho nonprofits do just that. According to a 2021 study<\/a>, nonprofits increase social engagement and buffer communities from threats to wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The causes they champion \u2014 from animal rehabilitation to fishing education to suicide prevention \u2014 make Idaho communities what they are today. It\u2019s not easy, and they can\u2019t do it alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From April 29 to May 2, Idahoans can participate in the state\u2019s biggest giving event of the year: Idaho Gives.<\/strong> <\/mark>We proudly sponsor<\/a> this event because we believe that when you invest in your community, your community invests back into you tenfold. It\u2019s that cycle of giving that makes Idaho so strong. For anyone thinking about attending or donating, here\u2019s all you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Idaho Gives?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Idaho Gives<\/a> is an upcoming online event organized by the Idaho Nonprofit Center. It\u2019s designed to raise money and awareness for 600+ registered nonprofits throughout the Gem State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is the perfect chance to bolster one of your favorite parts of your community. Maybe you want to see the Basque Block<\/a> in Downtown Boise thrive. Or maybe you\u2019d love to stand behind the moms of Southeast Idaho as their KIND Community nonprofit<\/a> battles teen suicide. No matter what you love about your little piece of the Northwest, there\u2019s a way to make it even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not ready to donate, you can educate yourself on what your local nonprofits are up to, champion the ones that speak to you, and find contact info on organizations you\u2019d like to volunteer at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, this event is designed to unite Idahoans and raise awareness of all the ways nonprofits already affect our day-to-day lives<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
