Description Registration

Rich Ballou, who represents the east side of the state for the Idaho Community Foundation, will discuss how the ICF helps everyday people make an impact in their communities through philanthropy. The ICF is a nonprofit organization that has been in existence since 1988 and has granted over $200 million to Idaho’s charitable organizations, thanks to generous gifts from its donors. Rich works with individuals, families, and businesses that want to provide long-term support for their favorite charities through: Estate gifts, Qualified Charitable Deductions using the Required Minimum Distributions from their IRAs, Donor Advised Funds, and other giving tools. Rich has been with the ICF for four years and works from his home (and truck) in Rexburg. He previously worked as a development officer for ISU and BYU – Idaho.
