Overview

Borah Charicature
Borah Charicature
The mission of the Borah Foundation is to continue the work of Senator Borah by sponsoring a variety of educational programs and projects which focus on understanding and removing the causes of war, and understanding and implementing the conditions that contribute to world peace. Since the Borah Foundation also seeks to make its programs accessible to as many people as possible, the annual Borah Program is free of charge and open to the public. The Borah Foundation is affiliated with the Martin Institute for Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution at the University of Idaho. They work closely together to support their common interest in peace and cooperate in co-sponsoring speakers and programs. Currently the Martin Institute also provides the Borah Foundation with administrative support.

Borah Foundation Library Collection

The Borah Foundation purchases and donates several books to the University of Idaho Library on an annual basis. The collection includes books about peace and conflict, as well as books related to the annual Borah Program, and books by and about each year's Nobel Peace Prize winners. Donations are also welcome to support the library project. All books are housed in the main University of Idaho Library and can be borrowed by anyone with a current University of Idaho library card.

In keeping with the tradition established by Eleanor Roosevelt during the first Borah Program in 1938, the Borah Foundation has proposed that a permanent peace grove be established on the grounds of the University of Idaho Arboretum.

Each year, during the Borah Symposium, the university president and keynote speakers will dedicate and plant a new tree in the Peace Grove. The Borah International Peace Grove will be a permanent addition to the beauty of the University of Idaho campus and arboretum, and will benefit students, faculty, staff and community members.
