Across Idaho, small towns and tribal nations are navigating a new era of uncertainty including wildfire, flooding, aging infrastructure, economic transition, and shifting responsibilities from federal to local governments. Many communities are under-resourced and overextended, yet deeply committed to building a stronger future.
That is where The Resilience Institute steps in.
Through partnership, research, student engagement, and on-the-ground collaboration, we work alongside communities to strengthen preparedness, reduce risk, and build resilience that endures.
On March 4–5, your gift goes even further.
- Director Brittany Brand will personally match gifts up to $500.
- The Great Idaho Show will match gifts up to $750.

- Preparedness guides for rural and tribal communities
- Travel support for students working directly with Idaho communities
- Childcare and meeting support so all voices can participate
- Mini-grants for local wildfire or other hazard mitigation projects
