Endow­ment Giving

Invest in the future of Iowa Donor Net­work and ensure a last­ing impact for future gen­er­a­tions by con­tribut­ing to one of our endow­ments at Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of John­son County. 

Our endow­ments are per­ma­nent funds that sus­tain our mis­sion by gen­er­at­ing invest­ment income while keep­ing the prin­ci­pal intact, pro­vid­ing long-term finan­cial sta­bil­i­ty and a reli­able fund­ing source.

Iowa Donor Net­work has two endowments:

• Iowa Donor Net­work – Donate Life Fund
  The funds from this endow­ment will expand our reach and increase our impact, allow­ing us to serve more indi­vid­u­als and fam­i­lies in the years to come.
  
  To make a gift to this endow­ment direct­ly, please vis­it the fund on the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of John­son Coun­ty web­page, here. Or pro­vide a check writ­ten to ​“Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of John­son Coun­ty” with the name of the fund, Iowa Donor Net­work – Donate Life Fund, on the memo line. Mail or deliv­er the check to Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of John­son Coun­ty, 501 12^th Ave, Ste 102, Coralville, IA 52241.
• Iowa Donor Net­work – Emi­ly Mark­ert Fund for Vol­un­teers
  The funds from this endow­ment will be used to sup­port Iowa Donor Network’s Vol­un­teer Pro­gram. This endow­ment was ini­ti­at­ed by the fam­i­ly of Emi­ly Mark­ert. Emi­ly was a two-time lung recip­i­ent. Sad­ly, Emi­ly passed away on August 15, 2014. Emi­ly was pas­sion­ate about Iowa Donor Network’s Vol­un­teer Pro­gram and nev­er felt like she was able to do enough for the orga­ni­za­tion so impor­tant to her. Emily’s moth­er, Liz, promised Emi­ly she would live out her lega­cy and pro­mote organ, tis­sue, and eye dona­tion. Liz was so inspired by her vol­un­teer expe­ri­ences, she pro­posed the idea of a vol­un­teer endow­ment, ensur­ing that the life-chang­ing work of Iowa Donor Net­work vol­un­teers con­tin­ues to thrive for years to come.
