President's Corner on Philanthropy President's Corner on Philanthropy Starting a new year is a great time for reflection. In preparing this President’s Corner, I went back and looked at the January 2014 President’s Corner and e-bulletin. While I was struck by how some of the things mentioned in that piece seemed like such a long time ago, there were also things that caused me to wonder where the time goes. We’re currently in the process of closing our year-end books as we do at this time every year and next month I will be able to share some of that information with you. Thanks to your generosity and another boost from the stock market, ICF had a very good year and that is great news for Idaho philanthropy and nonprofits throughout our state! One nonprofit that has received ICF support over the years is Kootenai County’s Trinity Group Homes, which has been providing safe, affordable housing for adults with mental illness since 1979. In my six years at ICF, I have come to know and admire Trinity Group Homes Executive Director Rev. Robert Runkle, or as Trinity’s website calls him, Deacon Bob. Stable housing is a crucial need for those who struggle with mental illness and as awareness of mental health issues increases, so does the need for housing and services. The staff at Trinity work with residents on life skills building and development. In addition, Trinity works with case management service providers to ensure medication compliance and 24-hour crisis intervention, as well as with psychosocial rehabilitation services. The goal of Trinity Group Homes is to enable its residents to graduate from semi-independent group living programs to fully independent community living. Trinity has been highly successful in its mission over the past several years. In 2013 they had 18 rooms available in its group homes and now they offer 32. However, as with many nonprofits, Trinity’s success is leading to increased demand for its services. Bob tells me he is increasingly frustrated to tell prospective residents that it could be 90-120 days before they can move into one of Trinity’s homes. However, Bob and Trinity Homes announced last month that they have closed on a USDA Rural Development loan to purchase a 6-bedroom Hayden home they had been leasing since 2013. The waiting list is still long, but Bob, the Trinity Board of Directors and the staff are working hard to address the issue of home stability for the mentally ill. For more information about their services, or to offer financial or volunteer support, visit their website. The new year is a good time to introduce a new feature for the e-bulletin. Beginning this issue we will introduce a column called “Why I Give,” and we’ll hear why Idahoans are involved in philanthropy. One of Idaho’s most significant philanthropists is Jim Kissler and he has written our first column. Jim is CEO and Chairman of Norco, Inc., and chair of the Kissler Family Foundation. He has been recognized many times over the years for his philanthropy, including as ICF’s Friend of the Foundation in 2007. Jim and Norco have made substantial contributions to projects including the Norco School of Nursing Building at Boise State University, the Kissler Family Chapel at St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center, the Kissler Family Library at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, the Y Camp at Horsethief Reservoir, Zoo Boise and several scholarships and humanitarian aid projects. Outside of Idaho, Jim and the Norco Board of Directors recommend grants from the Kissler Family Foundation to organizations throughout the company’s six-state region. We appreciate Jim’s contribution and we look forward to hearing from more of you in 2015! Best wishes to all of you for the coming year! Bob Headlines Guest column: The More You Give, the More You Get Guest column: The More You Give, the More You By Larry Kissler and Jim Kissler Get My Dad used to say all sorts of wise things about his Support the Greater philanthropic beliefs.

To Tom and Alice Hennessey, feel the joy of helping people you may never know or meet.

  • Oldham, Edwin and Louise (June 24, 2013)
    Oldham, Edwin and Louise (June 24, 2013) Oral History Interview with Edwin and Louise Oldham Morris Hill Neighborhood Association History Project LMK: Today is Monday, June 24 th , 2013, and this is Linda Morton-Keithley interviewing Eddie and Lou Oldham for the Morris Hill Neighborhood Association history project. So, the first question – when I talked with you the other day, you told me you married in 1946, and you moved to this house [620 N. Pond St. 1] in 1949. So, what I’d like to start with, if you would tell me, at that point; what was going on in your life, as a still fairly young married couple, that brought you to this particular location in Boise? LO: Well, I was about five months pregnant, I think, at the time we moved into this house. We stayed with my sister over on N. 11 th St. on Lemp. Then, we bought this place in December. I had a little gal, she was about a year and half, and then this was our second child that we were expecting. LMK: And, professionally, what was going on with you at that time? EO: First, I came to Boise from California, Santa Monica, California where we had moved from Paul, Idaho, to Santa Monica in 1942 or late ’41. I went into the service, Air Corps – they call it Air Force now – and served in the South Pacific. And, came out of the service in ’45, and went to college in Santa Monica. Her and I corresponded all that time. We came to Boise from Santa Monica, and I started working for First National Bank as a clerk, not a clerk but a clearinghouse employee.

  • President's Corner on Philanthropy
    President's Corner on Philanthropy Welcome to 2013! As we work on closing ICF’s 2012 financial books, we want to thank you for your support this past year and the marvelous contribution that ICF donors and friends made to nonprofits through their 2012 charitable giving and volunteering. It immensely enriched the quality of life throughout Idaho. As I suspect most of you know by now, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. So what does that mean for charitable giving in 2013? ICF is a member of the Council on Foundations (COF), which is comprised of private, corporate and community foundations. COF watched the fiscal cliff drama throughout 2012 and in a special edition of their newsletter they describe the general provisions of the Relief Act as follows: ● The charitable deduction will continue to be coupled with an individual’s or household’s corresponding tax rate. In other words, there is no cap on charitable deductions. ● The tax rate will be increased to 39.6 percent for individuals making more than $400,000 a year and households making more than $450,000. The previous rate for those earners was 35 percent. ● The estate tax will have a $10 million exemption for couples, $5 million for individuals, and a top tax rate of 40 percent. ● The bill extends the IRA charitable rollover through December 31, 2013. This provision permits tax-free distributions to an eligible charity from an IRA held by someone age 70½ or older of up to $100,000 per taxpayer, per taxable year.

Pond St. Boise, ID 83705 345-8629 I just wanted to make a comment about St. Luke’s closing off the street. I would be against that; I think they need to leave that open. She’s against St. Luke’s closing that street off, she thinks it should remain open. Council/ PDS 4/7/15 Don May 4759 S. Chex Way Boise, ID 83709 890-0270 don@donaldmay.com I am calling because I am a landlord and I have two investment properties in downtown Boise. One of them is 3108 W. Stewart Ave. and the other one is 926 N. 32nd St. I believe that it is absolutely critical that Boise do whatever it can to keep the St. Luke’s Boise Medical Center in downtown Boise. It’s very important that residents in the City of Boise have access to premiere medical care. It certainly helps landlords such as myself maintain the value of the property when we purchased it. The residents who live there really deserve to have premiere care available to them. I hope that the Mayor and City Council can do everything that they can to accommodate St. Luke’s; it appears that St. Luke’s is bending over backwards to try to accommodate the City and its desire to have bicycle and pedestrian friendly which I am a supporter as well. We need to have access to go health care. The mission statement of the City of Boise is the most livable city, so it’s got to have premiere health care readily available.

  • Albertsons Companies Continues Expansion in Idaho the Company Is Projected to Bring 300 New Jobs and $38 Million in Additional State Revenue
    NEWS RELEASE: For Immediate Release Contact: Megan Hill Idaho Commerce 208.334.2470 megan.hill@commerce.idaho.gov Albertsons Companies Continues Expansion in Idaho The company is projected to bring 300 new jobs and $38 million in additional state revenue BOISE, Idaho—Friday, September 23, 2016— Albertsons Companies, LLC (Albertsons), following an extensive remodel of its corporate headquarters here, announced today that it is continuing to relocate pharmacy support and add other corporate office positions to their Boise campus, which will result in a projected 300 new jobs and $38 million in new tax revenue to the State of Idaho. Albertsons, which is privately owned, is an original Idaho entrepreneurial success story, having been founded by Joe Albertson in Boise in 1939. His original store at the corner of 16th and State Streets downtown offered Treasure Valley customers fantastic innovations, like one of the first grocery store magazine racks, a scratch bakery, and an automatic doughnut machine. In those first days of his fledgling grocery business, Mr. Albertson cemented the tradition of offering their customers high quality products and exceptional customer service, a philosophy which still drives the company today. The Idaho Economic Advisory Council approved Albertsons to receive a Tax Reimbursement Incentive (TRI) award of 30 percent for 15 years. “This is the type of expansion that the Tax Reimbursement Incentive was designed for, and I couldn’t be happier that it is being used by an Idaho company with a rich history in our great state – a company that gave me one of my first jobs as a stock boy at the original Albertsons location,” Governor C.L.
