With your donation to the Des Moines Public Library Foundation Endow Iowa Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, you may be eligible to receive an Iowa tax credit of 25% of the gifted amount. Your contribution will help support future library programs and services. A variety of gifts qualify – cash, real estate, farmland, appreciated securities and outright gifts of retirement assets. Endow Iowa Tax Credits are available on a first-come/first –serve basis until the yearly appropriated limit is reached.
Endow Iowa charitable gifts are distinct from those made directly to the Des Moines Public Library Foundation. If you want to provide support via the Endow Iowa Fund, your gift must be made through the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, 1915 Grand Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50309, 515-883-2626, or online.
The Des Moines Public Library Foundation also accepts gifts from Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) held at the community foundation or with other institutions.
