EASTERN IOWA FARMER<br />
When his barn caught fire<br />
more than 20 years ago,<br />
a Garnavillo hog farmer<br />
counted on the local fire<br />
department to put out the flames. Two<br />
decades later, when the department was<br />
fundraising for a new building, he wanted<br />
to show his gratitude for their actions. The<br />
years had been good to him and he found<br />
Foundation helps build<br />
community with gifts<br />
of grain, livestock, land<br />
a unique way to turn his available asset —<br />
a truckload of hogs — into the capital the<br />
fire department needed.<br />
This is just one of the ways farmers<br />
across Eastern Iowa are using the same<br />
resources they’ve cultivated to support<br />
their families to give back to their communities.<br />
With many options for giving,<br />
the Community Foundation of Greater<br />
Dubuque and its affiliates make it easy.<br />
Whether you’re passionate about giving<br />
to your church, your local fire department,<br />
or a favorite nonprofit, the Community<br />
Foundation can help you turn your bountiful<br />
harvest or marketable livestock into<br />
charitable gifts with tax benefits that save<br />
you money.<br />
With hundreds of charitable funds at<br />
staffed affiliate foundations working locally<br />
across Eastern Iowa — in Allamakee,<br />
Clayton, Delaware, Dyersville, Jackson,<br />
Jones and Clinton — you can be sure that<br />
your giving stays close to home and benefits<br />
a community or cause of your choice.<br />
