Our network of 21 local community foundations connects people and resources to enrich the communities we call home.
Creating stronger regions
Local foundations focus on meeting the needs of nonprofits serving their communities and engaging generous people in giving back to the places they love. Working together, we create a stronger region where everyone can thrive.

The Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa is proud to be the lead foundation for our local affiliate community foundations.
We are honored to work with over 325 volunteers to help them strengthen their local communities and our entire region. We are always looking for volunteers to serve on local community impact committees.
Benefits of our Local Community Foundation Partnerships
Our local community foundations benefit from cost-efficient, centralized professional services, including financial and investment management, administrative and technical expertise, and marketing resources. This frees up local leadership to focus on effective grantmaking, endowment building, and community outreach. Our local affiliate community foundations also benefit from having a lead foundation that has met the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations.
