About the Foundation

The Idaho Tax Foundation is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization. Contributions to the Foundation from businesses, estates, gifts, other foundations, and individuals are tax deductible under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Perhaps the most important benefit of the Foundation is the independent work it sets out to do to help educate Idaho's citizens about the tax system and state/local governmental programs. The activities of the organization are not designed to influence legislation or for political purpose.
