An Agency Fund can be established by a family or an individual to support their favorite local nonprofit organization. By establishing a Agency Fund, you are providing support for the organization forever. Partnering with the Keokuk Area Community Foundation allows nonprofits to invest in a larger pool of assets, which can lead to greater growth, greater income and lower investment fees. All gifts to the organization’s endowed fund are tax deductible and may benefit from the 25 percent state income tax credit through the Endow Iowa Tax Credit Program. Distributions from the fund are granted back to the agency to be used at the discretion of its governing board.
