Overview

Mission

To assist Idaho power company employees in making contributions in an organized basis to charitable, character-building, and health and welfare organizations which are dependent upon voluntary contributions in order to carry out their specific charitable programs and which qualify as exempt organizations pursuant to the provisions of section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
