We are celebrating the renewal of our accreditation with National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations®! This designation recognizes community foundations that have rigorously examined their key operations of donor services, investment management, grantmaking, and administration.
We are dedicated to providing a lean, straightforward, and transparent conduit to those who wish to contribute resources for the betterment of the greater Waterloo community and its citizens. The accreditation process ensures that we have policies in place for financial stability and best practices to serve Waterloo and all our donors.
Why is accreditation important to our donors, nonprofits, and the community?
- National Standards accreditation represents our commitment to accountability, transparency, and excellence to our donors and community.
- Accreditation allows us to offer the Endow Iowa Tax Credit Program, which provides donors who give to a permanently endowed fund at a qualified community foundation the opportunity to receive a 25% state of Iowa tax credit for their gift. Learn more about this innovative program at https://wloocommunityfoundation.org/endow-iowa-state-tax-credit/.
We are committed to excellence and grateful to be your trusted partner in making a lasting difference in Waterloo.
Thank you for investing in the city we love!
