U.S. Bank awarded education grants to programs throughout Idaho, including programs in technology, finance, the arts and other areas.

Tuesday’s announcement completed the bank’s 1999 corporate giving program, bringing to $2 million its total yearlong investment in Idaho communities through charitable gifts, sponsorship and community development partnerships.

“By focusing on our customers and our communities, businesses like U.S. Bank play a vital role in making Idaho such a great place,” said Jim Stamey, president of U.S. Bank Idaho.

Recipients of U.S. Bank grants for the fourth quarter of 1999 include the Idaho Council on Economic Education, the Ririe Middle School Space Mobile and the Idaho Commission on the Arts.
