Ways To Give
Establishing a planned gift through the Waterloo Community Foundation is one of the easiest ways you can invest in the city we love. We often only think of cash gifts when offering charitable support, but there are many ways to maximize giving using your currently held assets. We are here to work alongside you to leave your legacy in strategic ways. Contact Erin Tink, Executive Director, at erin.tink@wloocommunityfoundation.org to learn more.

Estate Plan
You can include language in your will or trust designating a gift to the Waterloo Community Foundation as part of your estate plan.

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.
