Central Community Hospital Foundation Endowment
The Central Community Hospital Foundation established an endowed fund within the Clayton County Community Foundation (CCFF), an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque.
Annual distributions from the endowment will directly support local health care improvements for years to come. Gifts to the new fund will be eligible for Endow Iowa, which is a 25% State Tax Credit. Endow Iowa is a financial incentive for individual donors, families, and businesses to create or build endowments, thereby giving back to their community with annual distributions, forever.
The Central Community Hospital Foundation Board established the endowment as a savings account that will bless health care in the community forever, under the umbrella of the county community foundation. Keith Garms, Chair of the Central Community Hospital Foundation said, “This fund has been started so more people can donate to the endowment, support the hospital, and also take advantage of the 25% tax credit the State of Iowa is offering to support Community Foundations.”
