LEWISTON, ID – The DeAtley Family Foundation has announced the recipients of its 2025 Capital and Community Grants, awarding over $350,000 to ten nonprofit organizations that exemplify the foundation’s mission of strengthening communities through compassion, service, and support.

In a statement, the foundation expressed gratitude for the overwhelming number of inspiring applications received this year. “We are honored to play a small part in helping these nonprofits continue their incredible work,” the announcement read. “Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community.”
The DeAtley Family Foundation continues to invest in meaningful change, staying true to the values Neil and Patricia embraced throughout their lives—resilience, community, and hope. As the foundation carries on their legacy, it remains focused on uplifting those who need it most and ensuring lasting impact across the region.
