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.

As the foundation carries on their legacy, it remains focused on uplifting those who need it most and ensuring lasting impact across the region.
