Generating Revenue from Endowment Land

The Land Board and IDL offer approximately 2.5 million acres of endowment land for lease.

Revenue generated from leasing endowment land provides vital funding to the beneficiaries, including Idaho’s public schools. Idaho’s constitution requires IDL to maximize the revenue generated from these lands for the beneficiaries.
