SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Women’s Charitable Foundation (IWCF) offers annual Pooled-fund Grants to southwest Idaho organizations in amounts of up to $30,000 for projects in six interest areas: cultural
arts, education, environment, financial stability, health, and rural communities. Eligible projects include targeted capital construction expenses and funded activities must occur between
May 2024 and December 2024.
The gallery space that will be constructed as part of the renovation of the existing McCall Library building during the 2024 phase of the Library Expansion Project aligns well with the
IWCF grant timeline and cultural arts, education and rural communities interest areas. Once completed, the gallery will offer 101 linear feet of display space at the heart of the library’s
community wing, providing the McCall area’s first public exhibit opportunity to host rotating works of local artists and students, cultural and historical displays, and more. The gallery
will be free for residents and visitors to enjoy during regular library open hours, exhibit opening receptions, and whenever events, programs, or public meetings are held in the adjacent
community meeting rooms.
Total cost of construction of the gallery, including rough carpentry, drywall, flooring, electrical, lighting, and finish the architectural woodwork is $42,400. IWCF grant request will
be $30,000, with Library Foundation funding providing the balance of $12,400.
Attached is an excerpt from the library expansion floor plans showing the gallery exhibit space, and more information about the IWCF grant opportunity can be found at: https://www.iwcfboise.org/grant
