IDAHO GIVES WEEK PROCLAMATION

Mayor Art Bettge officially declared the week of April 2025 as Idaho Gives Week in Moscow, spotlighting the essential contributions of nonprofit organizations to community health and well-being. Idaho hosts over 7,000 nonprofits, which collectively employ more than 79,000 individuals and generate upwards of $10. 3 billion in revenue. Bettge emphasized that nonprofit leaders often innovate solutions to address community challenges and fulfill critical needs in health, education, and social services. Idaho Gives Week encourages residents to unite in their support for these organizations, amplifying their impact.

The nonprofit sector is recognized as a responsible steward of charitable funds, working towards diverse missions that benefit society. Furthermore, nonprofits often advocate for vulnerable populations that lack representation. This initiative not only raises awareness but also fosters a spirit of generosity among Idahoans. Bettge's proclamation is a call to action for the community to engage with and support their local nonprofits.
