Endowment Gifts
You can make a gift that can go on giving forever. North Star has an endowment fund held at the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa. This fund ensures a sustainable and long-term source of funding to continue services into the future. A gift to North Star through the Endowment can offer tax savings for you, including the Endow Iowa Tax Credit.
There are a variety of options to consider (bequests, life insurance, IRA rollover, and more). A planned gift to the North Star's Endowment Fund is a "win-win" for everyone. It not only provides essential long-term funding to North Star, it also offers donors and/or their heirs important tax benefits and control of their assets.
