The Community Foundation of Hancock County is an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines and operates under their 501 (c) (3) corporate umbrella, where our family of funds are invested.
When donating to a fund, you will be directed to the CFGDSM Donate Now page for that specific fund. Donate Now allows you to contribute to a fund using a Credit Card, Debit Card or Online Check/Direct Deposit from a checking or savings account.
Reminder: If using a credit or debit card for your contributions, there will be a 2.5% processing fee deducted to the overall donation. Please consider including an additional 2.5% in your contribution so that 100% of your contribution benefits the charitable fund.
To avoid the 2.5% processing fee, please consider using an online check or direct deposit for your contribution.
Endow Iowa Qualified funds are eligible for a 25% State of Iowa tax credit on donations to that fund.
