GREATER GOOD
The Cerro Gordo County Community Foundation connects people with the causes they care about and makes grants to nonprofit organizations enriching our communities.
We do this by helping to simplify the philanthropic process, giving generous people a way to support what matters to them. Gifts to the Community Foundation become part of a permanent endowment, which means they will benefit your community forever. Donors can make gifts to existing funds or create their own named fund to support the charities of their choosing. We invest gifts so they grow, maximizing the resources for grantmaking that addresses community needs.
Cerro Gordo County Community Foundation grants provide essential funding to nonprofits and government entities serving Cerro Gordo County and its residents. Since 2005, we have granted over $1,200,000 to support our partners in making our communities better places for all people.
A Legacy of GoodPlanning for a future that benefits your family and community leaves a legacy of good. Go to cfneialegacy.org to find information to help achieve your charitable goals through a planned giving option that’s right for you.
