Sixteen Thirty directly granted $110,740 to Idaho Voices for Children, an Idaho legislative-policy advocacy organization
Recorded status: PRIMARY direct 2024 grant and primary recipient policy-advocacy mission/outcome claims verified. Grant-to-recipient fiscal-period concentration, bill earmarking, direction and causation remain unproved.
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
Sixteen Thirty Fund’s primary 2024 Schedule I reports a direct $110,740 cash grant to Idaho Voices for Children Foundation Inc. (EIN 82-0478703), Boise, Idaho, for civil rights, social action and advocacy. Idaho Voices for Children’s own current materials describe the organization as a statewide public-policy advocate: it identifies policy solutions, educates elected officials and constituents, mobilizes allies, and advocates for policy changes affecting Idaho children and families. Its organizational history credits its advocacy with advancing multiple Idaho policy outcomes; for 2024 it lists H0633 extending Medicaid postpartum coverage, S1328 concerning emergency youth shelter protections, S1379 concerning foster children in short-term rentals, and S1380 creating a child-welfare ombudsman among policy measures it says it helped advance. Thus this is a short direct route from Sixteen Thirty to an Idaho organization whose core work expressly includes influencing Idaho public policy and lawmakers. A preliminary comparison to Idaho Voices’ FY2024 recipient-side revenue must NOT be used to claim a funding percentage because Sixteen Thirty reports on a calendar year while Idaho Voices uses a June fiscal year; the grant payment/receipt date has not been reconciled to the recipient fiscal period. The evidence does not establish that Sixteen Thirty earmarked the $110,740 for any particular Idaho bill, directed Idaho Voices’ policy positions, or caused any legislative outcome.
