BOISE, Idaho — The Gem State's largest celebration of charitable giving, Idaho Gives, wrapped up its four-day campaign with a total of $4,148,374 in donations for nonprofits across the state.
This week's event saw 13,147 people donate to 624 different nonprofits. At least one person from all 50 states and 68 countries, including Mongolia, the Netherlands, Romania and Singapore, gave to an organization this year.
Since its first year in 2013, Idaho Gives has raised $27,761,682. A total of 116 peer-to-peer fundraisers raised more than $250 during the 2024 statewide celebration, and 52 organizations had their entire board donate.

Idaho Gives was created and is run by the Idaho Nonprofit Center, which represents the interests of the 7,000-plus registered charitable nonprofit organizations, and serves as a "bridge between the nonprofit, for-profit, and government sectors."
It provides a one-stop place to give to a variety of organizations, but your donation goes to the nonprofit of your choosing. Idaho Gives was extended from a 24-hour event in 2020, giving nonprofits more time to engage and build relationships with potential donors.
During the 2023 campaign, 13,097 donors contributed $3,829,712 for 656 different Gem State nonprofit organizations.
Idaho Gives is underwritten by its presenting sponsor, Idaho Central Credit Union, and receives support from dozens of sponsors and media partners around Idaho, including Albertsons, Idaho National Laboratory, Simplot Company Foundation, Boise Cascade, Idaho Power, Micron and KTVB.
