Projects
Four Rivers Healthy Community works across four interconnected areas of impact. Every program, conference, and initiative we run connects back to one of these pillars.
Health
Support efforts to better manage chronic disease. Decrease health disparities. Support positive mental health strategies across the lifespan.
Programs: The annual Four Rivers Healthy Community Conference convenes healthcare providers, nonprofits, and community members to advance regional health outcomes. Sharing the Rock addresses mental health and wellness at the community level.
Liveability
Safe housing, strong neighborhoods, food security, accessible healthcare, living wages, and financial stability for all residents of the Western Treasure Valley.
Programs: The Investment in Caregivers Conference supports the region’s paid and unpaid caregivers with education, resources, and community. Our Poverty Simulation builds empathy and awareness around the daily realities of living with limited resources.
Leadership
Entrepreneurship, emerging leaders, mentorship, and policy development that keeps the Treasure Valley moving forward.
Programs: The Four Rivers Community Foundation builds local philanthropic capacity to sustain community investment for generations.
Lifelong Learning
Children who enter kindergarten are ready to learn. Youth graduate from high school. Adults obtain at least a basic education.
Programs: Over 2,000 children across Malheur, Payette, and Washington Counties receive free monthly books through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Our annual Used Book Sale helps fund DPIL. Border Town Comic Con promotes literacy and creative confidence through an annual comics and illustration festival.
