Why Giving Is So Important.
In the next 30 years, an estimated 6.6 billion dollars will leave Des Moines County through inheritance. Many that have lived and worked in the community their entire lives would like a portion of their wealth to stay in the area. The opportunity to leave a lasting legacy is exactly why Community Foundations exist.
When you give to the Community Foundation of Des Moines County you are funding the future. Take a few minutes to see for yourself why giving is so important.
