The Bogus Basin Endowment Fund
For donors who want to make an impact not only today, but for generations to come, the Bogus Basin Endowment Fund offers a powerful way to ensure the long-term vitality of the mountain.
Managed through the Idaho Community Foundation (ICF), our endowment fund is designed to provide permanent, sustainable support for Bogus Basin’s mission as a year-round nonprofit recreation and education resource for the Treasure Valley.
An endowment works by investing charitable contributions over time. Each year, a portion of the fund’s earnings is distributed to support Bogus Basin, while the principal remains intact — creating a lasting source of support that grows and strengthens year after year.
By including the Bogus Basin Endowment Fund in your legacy plans, you help ensure:
- Long-term financial stability for Bogus Basin
- Continued access to outdoor recreation and youth education programs
- A permanent community asset that will serve future generations
Through ICF’s stewardship and investment expertise, your gift becomes part of a trusted, locally managed fund dedicated to preserving what makes Bogus Basin so special — now and always.
