Ways to Give

We offer a wide range of gifting options and vehicles that you can use to establish or add to a named charitable fund. Since we are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a public charity, donors are provided with the maximum tax benefits allowed by law.  Once your fund is established you can add to it at any time and in any dollar amount. 

The articles at the top of the page offer more information about some of the flexible giving options you can select for your charitable giving.  Our staff is eager to talk with you and your financial advisor about these opportunities in person. 

If you have questions about becoming a donor that have not been answered in this section, please contact Sheila Kinman by phone at 515.447.4207 or email.
