BEYOND THE BENEFITS

Northwest Dental Benefits was founded with community at the forefront of our mind.

That's why we launched Beyond the Benefits, a program benefiting the North Idaho and Treasure Valley communities. Each quarter, NWDB donates to three local causes, nominated by our Members, Groups, and Partners, on behalf of our Membership. In 2024, we surpassed $30,000 in donations!

The Idaho Humane Society is the largest and oldest animal welfare organization and veterinary charity in the state. Their mission is to advocate for the welfare and responsible care of animals, protect them from neglect and cruelty, and promote humane education, awareness, and compassion. They continue to grow and meet the demand to shelter, feed, provide medical attention to, and find adoptive homes for abandoned and abused animals in our community;

The Frank J. Harwood Initiative will support selected youth in a year-long, summer-to-summer cohort program beginning in 2027 that integrates outdoor adventure, meaningful mentorship, and intentional mental wellness.

Designed as a prevention and connection model, the program meets youth where they are, building belonging, resilience, and community so that every young person knows they don't have to face life's challenges alone.

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans.
