Improve quality of life for all by promoting charitable giving, connecting donors with causes they care about and providing leadership on important community issues
The Leadership Grant program aims to strengthen the Greater Des Moines community by supporting initiatives in seven key focus areas: Arts and Culture, Community Betterment, Education, Health, Social Capital, Strengthening Individuals and Families, and Workforce Development. These areas were selected based on community priorities, and the program seeks projects that leverage the strengths of diverse stakeholders under a Better Together philosophy. Grants typically range from $20,000 to $250,000 to either launch or scale up initiatives that address these priorities, increasing accessibility and improving conditions in various critical sectors.
