What is a Community Foundation?

Community foundations are local charitable nonprofits focused on connecting donors and donations with community betterment projects, programs, other nonprofits, and initiatives. They help individuals, businesses, and organizations invest in the local community. Ankeny Community Foundation promotes philanthropic support of Ankeny, for Ankeny!

Serving a Growing Community

A group of community members founded the Ankeny Community Foundation in 2012 with the goal of encouraging, promoting, and facilitating charitable donations and philanthropy to improve the community. Since then, we’ve helped support major public projects by raising funding and receiving grants on their behalf. We’ve also worked with local nonprofits to award grants to support their missions.
