The Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF), a 501(c)(3), is a non-profit think tank in Idaho dedicated to "finding free-market solutions to the challenges facing our state." [1] It was founded in January 2009.

[edit] Mission

The Foundation defines it’s mission as working "to keep Idaho free by generating research and data on key issues, and recommending the findings to opinion leaders, policymakers, media and the citizens of Idaho."[2]

[edit] Issues

The IFF has three main issue areas which it provides news and commentary on - transparency, education, and solutions.[3]

[edit] Transparency contributions

The IFF launched OurIdaho.com to provide the state's taxpayers with a government transparency source. The site has billions of dollars in state spending data as well as the salary information of the state's employees. The think tank plans to provide data about cities, counties and school districts soon.[4]
