Gem State Grant

Gem State Grants

IHC’s Gem State Grants are focused on supporting Idaho communities as they look to the future. This opportunity will help organizations explore their community’s history, its future, and its shared experiences. IHC encourages organizations to achieve these goals by focusing on cultural understanding and community engagement. To support this goal further, this grant does not require any match or cost-share. Additionally, awards will not be reduced. You will either receive the full amount you request ($5,000 or $10,000) or no award, so plan accordingly! 

Goals of Gem State Grants include (your project does not need to address all three):

• Allowing organizations to plan for the next 50 years in their community, such as hiring a consultant.
• To begin planning a larger-scale project.
• Crating the project or program that has always been just out of reach.

Examples of projects include:

• Projects with Community Engagement
• Capacity Building/ Strategic Planning
• Humanities projects (including planning)
• Planning for larger-scale projects

Currently, the IHC’s target audience is the out-of-school adult public
