Christine Tiddens and Idaho Voices board locally steer Sixteen Thirty-funded Idaho legislative-policy advocacy

The direct Sixteen Thirty→Idaho Voices for Children branch also has identifiable Idaho decision-makers and legislative uses. Sixteen Thirty’s 2024 Schedule I reports a $110,740 cash grant to Idaho Voices for Children Foundation Inc. for civil rights, social action and advocacy. IRS-derived FY2024 records list Christine Tiddens as executive director, Diane Garvey as president and Greg Satz as treasurer; the filing reports a 13-member independent governing body. Idaho Voices describes its work as identifying policy solutions, educating elected officials and constituents, mobilizing allies and advocating for Idaho policy changes. Tiddens is independently identified as executive director by the Partnership for America’s Children, and Idaho legislative records show Tiddens and Idaho Voices staff testifying on legislation. Idaho Voices’ own impact materials credit the organization’s advocacy with multiple 2024 Idaho policy measures, including H0633, S1328, S1379 and S1380. This establishes a direct national-funder→Idaho-policy-organization route in which Idaho staff and board governance are identifiable and the organization’s use is expressly legislative-policy research, education, coalition mobilization and testimony/advocacy. The record does NOT show that Sixteen Thirty selected any specific bill, instructed Tiddens or the board, or earmarked the $110,740 for one legislative outcome; recipient fiscal-year timing also prevents a simplistic percentage-of-budget claim until the grant receipt date is reconciled.
