Where it all began...

The Cedar Falls Community Foundation began as the Cedar Falls Civic Foundation in 1976. Mayor Jon T. Crews was the catalyst, calling together a meeting of citizens to try to raise private funds to do things for the public good, things that could not be accomplished through taxation. The Foundation was incorporated and certified as a tax exempt organization in 1977. Modest growth in the initial years was followed by a period of substantial growth in the late 1990s which continues today. The Cedar Falls Community Foundation is a nationally accredited community foundation serving Cedar Falls and vicinity.

990 Reports

Form 990 provides a wealth of information on the location, condition, grantmaking and revenue of a nonprofit. 990s offer a window into what is happening across and within an organization. It is required annually by the IRS and can be completed by staff, their Certified Public Accountant, or independent auditing organization. CFCF is no different.

Annual Report

CFCF prepares an annual report (well…. annually) to provide a transparent view of its operations and projects. It highlights where donors’ gifts and our revenue have been invested.
