Fundsy Incorporated

The organization began with community leaders coming together to raise funds for capital improvements at the downtown Boise YMCA (“Funds Serving the Y” became “FUNDSY”). After several years of successful auctions, the founders decided to accept proposals from nonprofits and choose beneficiaries on alternate years. Because funds for capital improvements, “bricks and mortar,” were more difficult for charities to raise, as grants and corporate giving usually are restricted to programs, founders decided FUNDSY would fill this important need for the growth of our community’s arts, education, civic and social service non-profit organizations. This year marks FUNDSY's 50th anniversary and our beneficiary is Camp Rainbow Gold, an oncology camp for patients, sibilings and families.
