The Idaho Community Foundation has two grant cycles open for the north Idaho counties of Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Clearwater, Idaho, Kootenai, Latah, Lewis, Nez Perce and Shoshone. Deadline for each is Jan. 15.

The Idaho Future Fund grant cycle is beginning its third year and will provide $100,000 in North Idaho grants in 2017.

Idaho Future Fund grants are in these categories: preschool scholarships, charter schools, public schools and public school libraries, and supplemental educational programs.
