Donors have the option of giving to our future. Gilbert Education Foundation can offer you the opportunity to receive an Endow Iowa tax credit through a gift to our fund established through the Story County Community Foundation. The Story County Community Foundation (SCCF) is a nonprofit public charity created by generous local citizens. It builds permanent charitable funds called endowments. Each endowment distributes a portion of its earning annually in perpetuity--forever--to support a charitable purpose. Donations may be made to funds which address community needs and reflect a donor's interests and personal philanthropic goals. The SCCF acts as a broad umbrella, sheltering many separate funds, including two funds set aside for the Gilbert Community School District via Gilbert Education Foundation.
In an effort to build up endowment funds 20% of dollars that are received via fund raising will be invested in the foundations endowment accounts. If you have questions please contact Cherie Torresi gef@gilbert.k12.ia.us
