Remember, there is no end to the good that comes from charitable giving. Various foundations and charitable giving organizations in Iowa are working hard to streamline the generosity of Iowa's citizens. The Iowa Council of Foundations was established in 1998 to lead these foundations and charitable giving organizations in a unified effort to strengthen and promote philanthropy in the State of Iowa. From art centers, to education programs, to human and social services and beyond, charitable giving is the reason for Iowa's great communities. It deserves our attention.
