Mahaska County Community Foundation Mission:
The mission of the Mahaska County Community Foundation (“MCCF”) is to assist local organizations to accomplish great things in Mahaska County. To do so, it will promote endowment building, community development, grant making, organizational collaboration, and public leadership for the benefit of Mahaska County’s residents.
Funds Available:
MCCF has approximately $100,000 available to award in grants for fiscal year 2009. This money represents Mahaska County’s portion of ½ of 1% of all the gambling revenue earned in the State of Iowa. These funds were equally distributed to those counties which do not contain gambling establishments. In addition to these State funds, MCCF will be looking to local donors to contribute to the fund to allow even greater levels of assistance to Mahaska County organizations in future years. Through the mechanism of endowment funds, charitable minded individuals can establish funds to build a permanent source of charitable assets to meet emerging, as well as existing needs in our community.
