About

We Believe In Idaho

In early 2019, eight communities across the Stibnite Foundation Region came together alongside Perpetua Resources to establish the Stibnite Foundation and support the causes and organizations that make our region so special.

The Stibnite Foundation believes by working collaboratively, across city and county lines, we can create more powerful opportunities. We are focused on investing in opportunities that help our neighbors, protect our environment and build stronger, more vibrant communities.

This part of Idaho is special. At the heart of this region are many amazing people working every day to advance causes important to them. If we help them succeed, we all benefit.

Perpetua Resources is providing the funding for the foundation. It was important to the company that the entire region benefit from the Stibnite Gold Project. Already, before the Stibnite Gold Project has been permitted,

Perpetua Resources has donated $300,000 and given the foundation 150,000 shares in the company.

Perpetua Resources will continue making donations to the foundation as the company passes key milestones. Those donations include:

BOB CRUMP

Riggins

Bob Crump came out of retirement to serve on the Stibnite Foundation and Stibnite Advisory Council after being appointed by the Riggins City Councilors. He is lovingly known by his community as one of the same ten people who volunteers for every chamber event (of which there has been many over the last 40 years). Bob graduated from the local high school in 1965, attended the University of Idaho obtaining a degree in Physics and worked at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory for eight years and two years at Gulf General Atomic near San Diego. In the nuclear industry, Bob was an engineering specialist where he performed probabilistic risk assessment of nuclear power plants. In 1979, he moved back to Riggins and purchased several businesses, was a city councilor for 16 years and mayor for seven years before retiring six year ago.

Denis Duman

Denis is a lifelong resident of Cottonwood and dedicated public servant. He is a U.S. Navy veteran who served his community on the City Council and as Mayor for 24 years before being elected an Idaho County Commissioner. Denis was chosen to be the Stibnite Foundation’s Idaho County representative in large part because of his track record of helping others. He has served on the boards of the Clearwater Economic Development Association and Ida-Lew Economic Development Association for more than 30 years. Denis has proudly been married for 40 years and is father to three grown sons. Like many Idahoans, Denis loves spending his free time camping, UTV riding and traveling.

The appointment to the Stibnite Foundation from the City of New Meadows was a great honor for Julie.

Over the years, Julie has developed technology expansion at Meadows Valley Public Library and has worked with local nonprofit groups on everything from community gardens and food for families to economic development and business retention. Whether directing the Heartland Community Choir or teaching free computer and business classes, she is intent on keeping the magic of small towns alive.
