Want to make a meaningful contribution to the causes you care most about?
Open a new fund with the Community Foundation of Johnson County and we will match 10%—up to $2,500 per household.
This match applies to all new funds, including agency funds, field of interest funds, designated funds, or endowed funds that may be eligible for the Endow Iowa Tax Credit. You can learn more about the different fund types here.
Once you decide to create a fund, our team will guide you through the process and help you think through several important considerations:
- What impact do you want your gifts to have? We will assist you in making gifts to the causes you care about. You can focus on a specific interest or issue, your favorite nonprofit organization, or the needs of a whole community.
- When do you want to give? You can make gifts now or we’ll help you and your family plan a gift that will take effect after your lifetime.
- What type of gift would you like to give? Some gifts can provide special tax benefits and even generate income for you as a donor. We can work closely with your own professional advisor (CPA, Attorney, Financial Advisor) to make your charitable giving goals a reality.
This opportunity will close on December 31 or when matching funds are exhausted, so act quickly!
