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!

Gizmo - CDA is Coeur d’Alene's non-profit community makerspace.
Gizmo could be described as many things, but first and foremost, Gizmo is a makerspace where art, design, tools, and technology are connected by the hands and minds of those in our community.
Founded in 2014, Gizmo - CDA started with 2600 sqft on 4th Street, bringing life to a vision of CDA 2030; a local non-profit, community based organization set to guide the creation of a shared vision for the future of the Coeur d’Alene area.
