5B Engine Works launches a new journey for giving in the Wood River Valley. We have a significant opportunity to utilize the concept of collective giving to address the smaller nonprofit organizations in Blaine County who are doing meaningful work yet don’t always have the resources to tell their story.

Our mission is to define new ways to learn where we can support the smaller nonprofit organizations of Blaine County. By engaging the simple giving model mastered by Marty Lyon and The Men Who Care, we can be successful in creating an impact to many nonprofits and charitable organizations in Blaine County.

Our process can/should be:

  • Informed

  • Immediate Impactful and

  • Unencumbered

Many thanks to both The Giving Guide and The Spur Foundation for allowing us to reference their Nonprofit Directories to research our nominations. The Spur Foundation Directory alone has 76 nonprofits listed. Both are providing us the platforms for us to learn and recommend the organizations where we can provide support.

Through our members, we will be leading the charge in the investigation and recommendation for groups in the following segments:·

  • Sports/Recreation-youth and adult·

  • Social/health/wellness programs and services·

  • Animals and wildlife·

  • Education·

  • Environment·

  • Arts and Culture·

  • Community/Housing·

  • Holiday causes·

  • Special human needs.
