Our Shark Pond grant recipient, Emmanuel Osei, who's company is known as GabyMot Anzaldi Enterprise, is doing amazing things in the world of recycling in Ghana. We are proud of his progress! He writes this:
Dear Esteemed Sponsors,

The Greater Boise Rotary Foundation is excited to announce the recipient of the $25,000 grant to Life’s Kitchen for the purchase of a new delivery van.
The Greater Boise Rotary Foundation (GBRF) was established in 1984 by a group of local Rotary members who created an endowment fund to support area non-profits. Currently, eight Ada County Rotary Clubs contribute to the foundation, and make decisions about grant applications. In 2025, the clubs formed a partnership with the Idaho Community Foundation to manage the endowment.
Since it was founded 41 years ago, the Greater Boise Rotary Foundation has awarded $550,000 of support to Ada County non-profits. Recent large grant recipients include Boys & Girls Club of Ada County, Jesse Tree, Girls on the Run and Genesis Community Health.
