Idaho Gives

Idaho nonprofits are struggling, especially after demand for their services increased dramatically as part of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But this is the time of year when nonprofits get a lifeline from the community with Idaho Gives. It’s a four-day fundraiser where you can help your favorite nonprofit.

Kevin Bailey with the Idaho Nonprofit Center says it’s vital, especially for tiny groups that struggle to stay afloat monetarily. He spoke with our Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about how nonprofits are doing and howIdaho Gives works.

As host of Morning Edition, I'm the luckiest person I've ever known because I spend my days listening to smart, passionate, engaging people. It’s a public trust. I lean in to talk with actors, poets, writers and volunteers who make Idaho that much more special.
As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
