Chadwick Foundation
The organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting various charitable causes, primarily focusing on education through scholarships and community support initiatives. It funds local organizations and projects that enhance community engagement, with a notable emphasis on supporting Lions Clubs and other community service groups. The foundation aims to foster educational opportunities and assist charitable organizations in their missions. While it primarily serves the local community, its funding also extends to educational initiatives outside its immediate geographic area.

Ideal Applicant
Local or regional community organizations, service clubs, or scholarship applicants (college sophomores or higher) seeking small-to-medium awards for community projects or individual scholarships.
Good Fit
- • Requests for scholarships or small organizational support consistent with past grants.
- • Local presence or demonstrated community impact in Idaho or nearby states.
- • Clear, concise application package submitted by the stated August 31 deadline.
- • Past or potential relationship with community service clubs (e.g., Lions Clubs) or local foundations.
- • Request sizes aligned with historic grants (many awards in the $2K–$10K range, occasional larger grants).
Geography
Giving is regionally focused: a majority of dollars (about 58% in 2024) went to Idaho recipients, but grants also reached organizations in four other states, for a multi-state yet Idaho-centered footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 15 distinct recipients, including community charities, service clubs, and individual scholarship awards; that breadth over three observed years indicates a broadly distributed recipient set despite some dollar concentration.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover (11 new recipients in 2024) and the foundation publishes application forms and a deadline, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
