What are Endowment Lands?
On July 3, 1890, Idaho became the forty-third state of the Union. At that time, the federal government granted a total of 3,650,763 acres to the new State of Idaho. The acres were distributed to nine endowment trusts. For additional information, refer to an Overview of the Department of Lands.
State Board of Land Commissioners
In order to effectively manage the endowment lands and funds, Article IX of the Idaho Constitution established the State Board of Land Commissioners. Learn more by visiting the State Board of Land Commissioners' web page.
About the Department of Lands
The Department of Lands was created in 1895 to perform the constitutional functions given the State Board of Land Commissioners concerning the management of grant lands. For additional information, refer to an Overview of the Department of Lands.
State Trust Lands - Asset Management
As trust manager, the Land Board is obligated to manage the assets of each trust with undivided loyalty to the beneficiaries of the trusts. Idaho Code 58-101 created the Endowment Fund Investment Board, which formulates policy for, and manages the investment of, the financial assets.
