Grant from The Idaho Community Foundation to Help Fund the Nez Perce County Historical Society & Museum.
Nez Perce County Historical Society is pleased to announce it has received a $1000 grant from the Wayne and Peggy Thiessen Family Foundation Fund in The Idaho Community Foundation. These funds will support the Historical Society in honor of Marion Shinn.
About The Idaho Community Foundation: The Idaho Community Foundation connects Idahoans to a generous statewide network through the power of collective giving. Our grantmaking, community impact work and charitable advising services have strengthened nonprofits, schools and communities in every Idaho county for more than 35 years. We believe that shared philanthropy is more powerful than giving alone. For more information, visit: www.idahocf.org.
