Connections that Count 

"The Community Foundation has been an excellent resource for our family as we seek to identify and support the causes we care about. They understand what matters most to us and have served as a partner by presenting us with giving opportunities aligned with our interests that can help make a difference."

- Dr. Barron and Britt Bremner

Better Together. Better Forever.

"As I considered my estate plans, I wanted to provide ongoing support for my children and my community. As an individual I am not aware of the full scope of opportunities to make a difference, but the Community Foundation has their finger on the pulse of community needs. By leaving a gift to the Better Together Fund, I trust that the Community Foundation will continue to invest in the right projects at the right time to make Greater Des Moines greater."

- Kathy Kunath
