Local Community Foundations Grant Over $1 Million During Fall 2025 Grant Cycle

Posted on February 26, 2026 

This fall, seven of our local community foundations invested more than $1 million in the communities they serve. From education and health to arts and community development, these grants represent the generous spirit of donors who believe in the power of local philanthropy. Decisions on grant awards are made by local committees of people who love where they live and understand local community needs.

Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible—your commitment to communities across Iowa is transforming lives and strengthening communities.
