It’s back to school time. Is education on your mind? At Greater Poweshiek Community Foundation (GPCF) it’s on our mind this month and the other 11 months of the year. If education and related causes are important to you, GPCF can help you explore ways to make an impact. Here are three ideas to inspire a deeper discussion:
Building connections
The GPCF team is here to connect you with a school district or college to better understand student needs. You might learn that student nutrition is a need or a welding program needs funding for specialized equipment that will expand student learning.
Making higher education more affordable
Are you concerned that higher education is out of reach for high school graduates? The staff at GPCF can help. Creating a scholarship is an easy and flexible process. A scholarship can be established in honor of a loved one or to pay tribute to a prosperous career.
Find your education “niche”
A Field of Interest Fund allows you to specify a charitable purpose, like education, and provide annual distributions to that cause. You may be interested in supporting local programs offering tutoring and mentorship or you may decide to direct your charitable dollars to quality early childhood programs. We can help you investigate educational initiatives that you are passionate about.
Please reach out to the staff at GPCF and leverage our knowledge and research to identify high-impact educational opportunities that are aligned with your philanthropic goals.
