Tribute & Memorial Gifts
Special people deserve special recognition. Gifts can be made in someone’s memory or as a great way to honor someone. What a perfect way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or other important personal milestone! Maybe it's a gift for that hard-to-buy-for individual.
Anyone can make a tax-deductible gift at any time, in any amount to North Star Community Services in honor or memory of someone special. Simply make a note, or contact North Star directly at (319)226-8304. We will let the gift recipient, or in the case of a memorial gift, their family know of your thoughtful tribute.
Make a gift to secure our future
Quasi-Endowment Fund: This fund, held at the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa, operates as a savings account, with a better rate of return - the funds remain liquid and readily available as needed. Think of it as a "rainy day fund" - offering a measure of security for those unexpected expenses and needs. The usual tax benefits apply. Make a gift using the button on the right.
Endowment Fund. North Star's permanent endowment fund, held at the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa. You can make a gift that can go on giving forever. This fund ensures a sustainable and long-term source of funding to continue services into the future. A donation to North Star through the regular Endowment can offer additional tax savings for you, including the 25% Endow Iowa Tax Credit. Make a gift using button on right.
A gift to either fund helps ensure a great future for North Star and the individuals with disabilities that we serve. For more information on ways to give and potential benefits, or to make a gift to either of North Star's Endowment Funds, call (319) 226-8304, and we can answer your questions, or for more great information and our Fund flyer, visit Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa.
Planned aka Legacy Gifts: There are a variety of options to consider (bequests, life insurance, IRA rollovers, and more). A planned gift to the North Star 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. These are gifts that anyone can make, and their are a wide array of ways to do so.
Donate to the Alex J. Seeley Memorial Fund
In early 2024 North Star established a fund in memory of a member of the North Star family and employee, Alex (A.J.) Seeley to directly benefit persons served by North Star both now and in the future. If you choose to donate to this fund, you will have an important impact on the people with disabilities that Alex cared about and supported during his career with North Star.
The funds are held as a permanent endowment at the Waterloo Community foundation and will be distributed bi-annually to meet a need for someone served at North Star Community Services.
Follow the link to donate directly through the Waterloo Community Foundation, or you can also donate to this fund by credit card (left) or by sending a check. Just be sure to make a note letting us know where to direct the gift.
