Planned Giving for Conservation

Two endowment funds have been established at the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa to provide a long-term reliable funding source for Black Hawk County Conservation now, and forever! Because these funds are a permanent endowment fund, your gift may be eligible for a 25% state tax credit. To learn more or donate today, click here for Black Hawk County Conservation Fund or Cedar Valley Nature Trail Fund.
