Community Endowment Fund Helps Donors Make a Lasting Difference
The Community Endowment Fund is a permanent fund established to support competitive grant programs at the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. For many donors, this is an appealing giving option because it allows their gift to impact the areas of greatest need or opportunity in our community. Donors who make gifts to this fund recognize that the needs of the community will change over time. Donors can give a gift of any amount directly to the Community Endowment Fund, or, they can establish a named endowed fund to benefit the Community Endowment Fund.
