Community Foundation for Western Iowa Will Host Generosity Celebration

The Community Foundation for Western Iowa will be the heart of Giving Tuesday 712 fun and excitement. Throughout tomorrow, community members and nonprofits are encouraged to visit the office at 536 E. Broadway in Council Bluffs for check presentations, special guest appearances and be part of the giving excitement.

The Community Foundation for Western Iowa also will provide 24 hourly $1,000 prizes for SHARE Iowa nonprofit organizations that participate in Giving Tuesday.

As Giving Tuesday 712 concludes, the public is encouraged to attend a generosity celebration at Full Fledged Brewing Company.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving and the largest day of giving in our region. Giving Tuesday is a day that encourages people to do good and that every act of generosity matters.

Once again, the Community Foundation for Western Iowa will earmark $200,000 for a 20% match on charitable gifts to endowment funds within the foundation. This special match is a gift from the Community Foundation during Giving Tuesday 712 to nonprofit partners to amplify the impact of their generous donors.

The Community Foundation for Western Iowa’s 20% match is on gifts up to $100,000 per fund, which is available from Nov. 25 to Dec. 13.
