Iowa Community Foundations are unique in our ability to make an impact in so many diverse areas of community need. Our donors make gifts that allow us to continue to improve our communities... today and tomorrow.
We gather information and track the many local agencies and programs working to enhance our communities. Based on this information, we make grants and direct resources to the most appropriate areas. We stay alert to emerging issues and foster giving and volunteerism in our community. We have the flexibility to:
Support high-impact opportunities... those that will make the greatest difference in our communities
Serve as a catalyst for bringing organizations into existence as new needs arise.
Re-direct funds as appropriate if and when our communities' needs change (or when local non-profit organizations cease to exist)
