The Foundation was awarded $67,000 from the Iowa County Endowment program. This program is a legislative initiative designed to foster the investment of philanthropic resources into local communities throughout the state.
The legislation requires that 25% of the funds be placed into a permanent county endowment to be invested, and that 75% be awarded in grants.
In addition to the funds from the state legislation, the Foundation can assist donors who wish to make outright and testamentary gifts to the DCCF and support those charitable organizations important to them. DCC Foundation received a gift of $10,000 a year ago and just received yesterday $10,000 from a different family. It’s even possible for local charitable organizations to establish their own funds with DCCF and call upon available investment and management expertise that the Foundation has because of its affiliation with the Greater Des Moines Community Foundation. |
