Summary
A grant opportunity is currently available to support rural and community-based development initiatives with a focus on economic growth, public infrastructure improvements, and local business expansion. This funding opportunity is especially geared toward small communities and rural regions within Idaho, offering flexible support for a range of public and private projects.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, municipalities, and in some cases, small businesses or cooperatives. The primary goal is to strengthen local economies, enhance essential services, and increase job opportunities through targeted development efforts. Projects may include upgrading community facilities, expanding broadband access, supporting tourism infrastructure, or launching workforce training initiatives.
The grants are designed to meet a variety of community needs, with awards generally tailored to project size, location, and long-term impact. In many cases, funding can be used to leverage other sources of capital or match federal or state dollars. Depending on the program, recipients may also benefit from technical assistance, planning support, or multi-year implementation guidance. These grants are ideal for organizations and communities seeking to revitalize main streets, improve public utilities, or develop local assets that attract business investment or enhance quality of life. Funding cycles are typically annual or quarterly, depending on the program, and applicants are encouraged to present clear, well-defined proposals that demonstrate measurable community benefits. If your organization or small business is located in a qualifying area and has a plan to address economic development, infrastructure, or community resilience, this funding may provide the resources you need to move your project forward.
