Endow Iowa was established to encourage philanthropic giving to improve the life of Iowans by investing in permanent endowments at their local community foundations. Donors who give to a permanent endowment at a qualified community foundation to benefit Iowa charitable causes are eligible for a 25% Iowa state tax credit in addition to the federal charitable deduction on their gift. Donors may choose to give to existing endowed funds or establish their own named funds to support the causes they care about.

Charitable Giving Instruments
Encourage your clients to see the possibilites!
Outright Gift- Your clients can make a gift of cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, or other assets to their community foundation. Their gift qualifies for maximum charitable benefit under state and federal law. Bequest- Your client can designate a gift or portion of your estate to your community foundation and, in some cases, receive a substantial reduction in federal gift and estate taxes. Gift Annuity- Your client can make a gift of cash or property to your community foundation now, get immediate tax benefits, and ensure that they or their loved ones receive fixed quarterly or annual income payments for life. Retirement Plans- When clients choose to make testamentary gifts to charity of retirement assets such as IRAs and 401(k) plans, they are able to significantly reduce the tax burden of their estate and tailor their donations to fit their charitable goals.

Iowa legislators have coupled the federal tax-free IRA Charitable Rollover, thereby making it tax-free in Iowa as well. Individuals 70 1/2 and older can transfer up to $100,000 from their individual retirement account to a charity, like the Community Foundation, without including the distribution in their gross income. When transfered to an endowment fund at the Community Foundation, donors are also eligible for the 25% Endow Iowa tax credit on their donation.
