The Humboldt County 100-Plus Women Who Care met recently and lent their giving spirit to making a special dream come true for critically ill children right here in Humboldt County. During their meeting this month the group donated funds totaling $15,100 to the Humboldt County Make-A-Wish endowment fund.
The Humboldt Community Foundation has opened an endowment fund in partnership with Make-A-Wish Iowa. Anyone in the community can contribute to the fund at the foundation. Once the fund hits $300,000, it will then generate a $15,000 draw down every single year, forever, to fund a wish for a child in Humboldt County. State endowment tax credits are available when donating to this local fund. Read the story and see more photos in this week's Humboldt Independent.
