LEAVING A LEGACY IS GRATIFYING

Charitable and philanthropic groups play important roles in the state of Iowa. From giving seniors a hot meal, to linking mentors and role models with children in need, to providing a strong cultural environment, our charitable organizations provide crucial services throughout the state and in our bordering communities.

Your decision to provide financial support beyond your lifetime to one or more nonprofit organizations can dramatically affect the lives of people in our state. In addition to potential current tax benefits, the knowledge of your continuing impact on the organizations closest to you can create a great sense of personal satisfaction.

This section of our Web site is designed to equip you with a significant amount of information to help you fulfill your philanthropic objectives.

To get started, carefully consider each organization whose mission best reflects your personal beliefs and values. Also consider how your community and our state would be affected if those organizations did not exist. You might want to speak with representatives of the charitable organizations to share your intent and to ensure that your estate gifts are appropriately directed.
