Welcome! This site is dedicated to celebrating how generosity makes Idaho’s Wood River Valley special. It’s no coincidence that life looks brighter here. From world class arts and recreation, to help for those in crisis, loving homes for pets, and workforce housing, this valley thrives because people support nonprofits.
Together we’re building a brighter today and tomorrow.
Because it’s in our nature.
Celebrating a
tradition of generosity
It started when the Community Library opened its doors in 1957. Our first nonprofit rooted us in a tradition of giving and proved generosity makes the exceptional possible.
More than 80 nonprofits have blossomed in the Wood River Valley from this inspirational beginning. For over 50 years, they’ve been changing countless lives thanks to the enduring support and compassion of folks like you.
