Jane Fogg, Steve Beasley and Carole Reichardt are part of the third generation of their family to steward the family’s foundation with assistance from the Community Foundation.

“Our family has thrived in Des Moines for over six generations. This is where we went to school, built our businesses and raised our families. Our grandparents, Ernest and Florence Sargent, believed in and taught us to give back – time, energy, and, when possible, money. By placing the Sargent Family Foundation under the Community Foundation, we know our funds are invested wisely, the money is leveraged by being combined with other foundation assets and our family can still direct our contributions. Central Iowa is the best place to live and work, and our family is proud to play a small part in helping improve the quality of life for others. “
