A love of music can create a lasting impact. 🎶

Bob Richardson has experienced the joy of choral music firsthand as an original member of Bel Canto Cedar Valley. So when he and his wife, JoDee, learned about an opportunity to help establish an endowment fund for the organization, they found a meaningful way to support something they care about.

Through a gift directly from their IRA, the Richardsons are helping provide ongoing support for Bel Canto's mission and ensuring more people can experience the joy of music for years to come.

There are many ways to make a difference through year-end giving. An IRA charitable distribution is one option worth exploring if you're 70½ or older.

Swipe to learn more about the Richardsons' story and how an IRA gift could support the causes and communities that matter to you.

Farmers do more than grow crops and raise livestock. They help our communities thrive. 🌱

Did you know your farm's harvest can also help strengthen the community you call home?

A gift of grain or livestock to the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa can support the causes, nonprofits and communities that matter most to you.

Giving commodities before they are sold may also offer valuable tax advantages, including potential savings on income and self-employment taxes. Gifts to qualifying endowed funds may also be eligible for a 25% Iowa Endow Iowa tax credit, subject to program requirements and availability.

Whether you want to support local students, invest in your hometown or create a lasting legacy through charitable giving, we're here to help you explore your options.

Thinking about giving grain or livestock? Contact us before arranging a sale.
