HAWARDEN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Caring Today, Creating Tomorrow . . . For good. For ever. Background: Charles Horton had a vision to ensure that charitable programs in the community were supported now and in the future. In 1994, he planted the first seeds of giving through a gift from his estate to establish an endowment within the Siouxland Community Foundation for the exclusive benefit of the Hawarden community. The Hawarden Community Foundation now serves as a vehicle to receive gifts from individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to establish endowment funds that will provide grant awards for years to come. All gifts received are carefully invested and the income from endowments is used to make grants to public charities that best meet the needs in Hawarden. A seven-member advisory board appointed by position is responsible for governing the Foundation. Mission: The mission of the Hawarden Community Foundation is to enhance the quality of life, promote unity, and develop community pride now and in the future by partnering with the Hawarden community to identify and prioritize community needs, attract and distribute funds, support volunteerism, and challenge personal involvement and commitment. Brochure Informational Powerpoint The purpose of the community foundation is to connect donors who care with causes that matter and to enhance the quality of life in Hawarden, Iowa.

The Community Fund serves as a vehicle to carry out the charitable objectives of donors and offers distinct advantages. You may contribute to the unrestricted Community Fund or establish a separate component fund bearing your name or a name of your choosing. All grants will be made in the name of the fund you establish. We invite you to create a lasting legacy.
