Ways to Give
General Excellence Fund
The Foundation Excellence Fund is our general fund. Giving to the Foundation through this fund allows for the most flexibility to support districtwide learning opportunities and enrichment.
Gifts to the Excellence Fund support Big Idea grants for school and District improvements, Little Idea grants to support teacher wishlists, grants to fund the work of our Student Family Advocates, and unique learning experiences for our students. Thank you for being "All in for all kids!"

Partner
Are you interested in a community partnership? Or is your business looking for a way to support our schools? We regularly partner with businesses and organizations in the community to sponsor student programs and events, host donation drives, and provide free and discounted items and tickets to staff and students. Get in touch to discuss partner opportunities: foundation@iowacityschools.org.
Endowments
The Foundation manages many special funds that provide support for Foundation programs, dedicated funding to our schools, or scholarships and awards to our students and staff. Endowed funds provide an ongoing way to continue this support for years to come.
Bequests and Legacy Gifts
Legacy giving involves providing for a future gift through your financial and estate plans. The Foundation welcomes gifts made through different planned giving arrangements. These arrangements can:
-
Provide for you or your loved ones
-
Entitle you to charitable income and/or gift or estate tax deductions
-
Enable you to leave a legacy for students in the Iowa City Community School District schools.
We are happy to work with you and your attorney to craft the right language to accomplish your goals. Gifts can be restricted/designated for particular schools or departments. There are many types of planned giving and a variety of assets that may be given, including stock, insurance benefits, property, and more.
