Endowment Fund: Greater Tax Benefits

You can also give to our endowment fund through the Community Foundation of Johnson County.

  • Long-Term Benefits: Support the long-term health of our nonprofit while keeping money circulating in Iowa.

  • Extra Tax Benefits: Endowment donations are eligible for a 25% Iowa tax credit, in addition to federal tax deductions.

  • Lasting Impact: Once fully established, the fund will support operational expenses so we can focus more on education and less on fundraising.

Giving on Behalf of an Organization?

If you represent a business, foundation, city department, healthcare provider, school, or other organization that wants to sponsor classes or gardens, we would love to collaborate.
