Who establishes the Affiliate?
In general, an affiliate can be established by an individual or volunteer group of individuals that has a vision for the future of their geographic area or an existing community foundation can elect to affiliate with the Siouxland Community Foundation.
What is the purpose of an Affiliate? The purpose of the Affiliate is to attract gifts from individuals, families, businesses, private foundations, charitable trusts, civic associations, and nonprofit organizations for the exclusive benefit of a specified geographic area (community, county, etc.). Affiliation with the Siouxland Community Foundation allows donors to target charitable giving at home by building permanent endowments, the income from which is used to help meet the communities (or county’s) ever-changing needs. For tax purposes, the Affiliate operates under the umbrella of the Siouxland Community Foundation – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that are certified by the National Council on Foundations and the Iowa Council of Foundations as a qualified community foundation that meets national standards.
Who decides how the income is distributed?

Affiliate Funds exclusively and perpetually benefit the county/community for which it was established. Grants from the Fund, for example, can assist charitable programs that address present and emerging community needs; focus support in a particular field such as education, human services, the arts, healthcare, or help support charitable organizations and institutions that provide services vital to the quality of life within the specified geographic area.
