Ways to Give
We often only think of cash gifts when offering charitable support, but there are many ways to maximize giving using your currently held assets. The Waterloo Community Foundation offers opportunities that meet your giving goals in tax-wise ways, including the opportunity to take advantage of the Endow Iowa Tax Credit, a 25% state tax credit.
Contact Erin Tink, Executive Director, at erin.tink@wloocommunityfoundation.org to learn more.

Retirement Accounts
Donating a percentage of your unused retirement assets, such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred plans is an excellent way to make a gift to the Waterloo Community Foundation.

Appreciated Stock
Your gift of stock can be reinvested in the community and qualifies for an immediate tax deduction based on the fair market value.

Real Estate
Turn your property gains into a long-term community benefit. Fulfill your charitable interests and receive financial and tax benefits.
