Pottawattamie County Community Foundation customizes its services to provide donors with a personalized philanthropy plan. Information and recommendations are tailored to donors’ interests and preferences. Donors may establish several different types of funds with Pottawattamie County Community Foundation, and funds may become active during their lifetime or upon their passing. The type of fund established is determined based on the goals of the tailored philanthropy plan.

To schedule an appointment with a team member of Pottawattamie County Community Foundation to discuss a personalized philanthropy plan, please contact Kelly Dix at kdix@ourpccf.org or 712.256.7007.

Field of Interest Funds allow donors to target gifts that address a specific area of community life. The arts, at-risk youth, education and the environment are just a few examples. Donors can identify their personal interest area when making contributions and the fund steering committee and community foundation board will award grants to community organizations and programs that are making a difference in the selected area of interest. Field of Interest Funds ensure that gifts remain flexible enough to meet community needs in the interest area, even as they change over time.

Pottawattamie County Community Foundation currently has three Field of Interest Funds: The Southwest Iowa Mental Health and Substance Abuse Fund; The Women's Fund of Southwest Iowa; and the Southwest Iowa COVID-19 Response Fund - a partnership between PCCF and Iowa West Foundation.
