BOISE — The Idaho Department of Lands announced Tuesday that Fiscal Year 2025 was a record-breaking year for revenue generated from endowment land activities, bringing in $91,772,231 — exceeding the previous record from FY2014 by $2.2 million.

“This milestone highlights not just financial success, but the critical and unique mission of Idaho’s endowment trust lands,” said IDL Director Dustin Miller. 

Endowment lands are held in trust "to maximize long-term revenue for the beneficiaries," including Idaho's public schools and other institutions, he added. 

"Every timber sale, grazing lease, and commercial project is managed with that single goal: to strengthen and support Idaho’s state institutions,” Miller said.
