How to Give
The Cedar Falls Community Foundation (CFCF) is a fully accredited community foundation. Cedar Falls Community Foundation donors who establish or donate to a permanent endowment may apply for Endow Iowa tax credits.
This is a substantial benefit to donors. The Endow Iowa Tax Credit program provides $6 million in tax credits annually, a 25% benefit on donors’ Iowa tax return. Even taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions may claim an Endow Iowa Tax Credit equal to 25% of their contribution (so long as they are awarded an Endow Iowa Tax Credit for an eligible gift).
Effective Jan. 1, 2023, the maximum annual credit allowance will be reduced to $100,000 per taxpayer and $200,000 per couple (from $300,000 per taxpayer and $600,000 per couple). Credits are not transferable or refundable.
