LIFE is a nonprofit Center for Independent Living. LIFE has been serving Southeastern Idaho since 1980 and is currently serving in 18 counties. As a Center for Independent Living, it provides vital services that impact individuals, communities and systems. CILs make it possible for individuals with disabilities to gain or maintain independence. The center strengthens support systems and increases the accessibility of communities.

LIFE believes that all persons with disabilities are able to not only live but thrive in the community. One of the services LIFE provides individuals with disabilities is opportunities to participate in activities in the community. These activities provide opportunities for socialization and interaction with their peers and other community members while learning to utilize and access community resources.

The Idaho Community Foundation connects Idahoans to a generous statewide network through the power of collective giving. The grantmaking and community impact work and charitable advising services have strengthened nonprofits, schools and communities in every Idaho county for more than 30 years. The foundation believes that shared philanthropy is more powerful than giving alone. For more information, visit idahocf.org.
