Description
The World Class Industries Competitive Donor-Advised Fund is administered by the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. It supports organizations providing basic health and human services and classroom education for Iowa Core Standards. Capital improvements are also supported when they serve these program areas, rather than as a separate unrestricted capital category.
The fund is donor-driven: the donor advisor determines funding priorities, exclusions, grant decisions, and the timing of awards. The Community Foundation administers applications through its competitive donor-advised funding opportunities. Requests must use the program application category, including requests for related capital improvements, so the proposal provides context about the program being supported.
