Innovia Foundation awards $446K to area nonprofits

The Innovia Foundation awarded $446,000 in grants to 48 nonprofit organizations in North Idaho through their annual Community Grants Program.

Among those awarded was a $10,000 grant to both the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness and a similar grant to the Community Coalition for Families in Boundary County.

The Community Coalition for Families grant will provide housing and transportation assistance to approximately 50 families over the next 12 months. Funding will cover back rent, move-in costs, or gas vouchers and will directly aid those in need of emergency housing.
