Community Impact

Committed to Our Communities

At the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa, we are committed to creating a region where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Through a lens of equity, we work in partnership with donors, community organizations, government, business leaders, and other funders to address the region's most pressing challenges. We lead, support, facilitate, and listen, and we direct funding where it is most needed, and our success is measured by the impact we make.

Our Local Community Foundations

Our region encompasses 20 counties in Iowa. We collaborate with our network of local community foundations to identify unique local needs and opportunities to create a regional impact.
