This report captures the shared success of Iowa funders and the Iowa Council of Foundations through our involvement in the Iowa Campaign for Grade-Level Reading.

Philanthropy is a very personal decision. As a professional advisor, you can help your clients realize their charitable objectives by listening for charitable giving opportunities, explaining options, and suggesting solutions.
