In Case You Missed It

Last week's presenter was Judi Holdorf, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine.  The Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine is nine years old and is a county wide charitable organization.  Judi described the business of the Foundation like a three legged stool with each "leg" or area of emphasis being endowments, grants and partnerships.  The Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine is accredited by the National Council on Foundations.  The Iowa Department of Economic Development has deemed the Foundation as eligible for Endow Iowa Funds, which they have received.  Judi said some of their most recent projects include the Weed Park Zoo Garden, YPN State Conference, and Muscatine! The Musical.  To find out more about the Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine visit their website at http://www.muscatinecommunityfoundation.org/.
