About their agency funds.

Brent Dillinger
 CEO

Crossroads of Western Iowa

“Our endowment fund has been a substantial benefit to our organization. In addition to being a financial reserve, its dividend growth has had a positive impact. Additionally, we anticipate an even greater public confidence in Crossroads of Western Iowa’s longevity as a result of this fund.” - Brent Dillinger, CEO

Crossroads of Western Iowa created an agency fund with PCCF to ensure long-term sustainability and to address the potential reality of decreased funding for the individuals they serve.

Crossroads is leading a new philanthropic program focused on the sustainable delivery of services to clients far into the future, and the endowment with PCCF is central to the program, allowing Crossroads to responsibly prepare for the future.

Brent has found that the endowment is a benefit for donors, and they are responsive to the fund matching programs offered by PCCF. Brent is able to visit with prospective donors about the endowment capabilities, the benefits and the financial gains that go on in perpetuity.

Tom Emmett
Executive Director

The Historic General Dodge House

“It is a clear symbol that our institution has long-term plans, objectives and intentions. An endowment fund at PCCF is also attractive to potential donors because they can see their gift grow over the long term.” - Tom Emmett, Executive Director.

The Historic General Dodge House created a fund in 2020 to support critical emergencies and capital construction that would be life-changing for the organization.

Emmett has found that the Dodge House endowment with PCCF is attractive to donors because it is a long term declaration. The organization wants to have a way for donors to give to a fund that will mature and grow while creating a better opportunity to provide tax advantages for supporters. Donors amplify their impact with matching dollars for the Dodge House, courtesy of PCCF’s 10% charitable giving incentive program for endowed funds.
