Iowa Wing Foundation

	This 501[C] (3) charitable corporation has been  formed in order to assist Iowa Civil Air Patrol to invest donations from volunteers and friends of Civil Air Patrol in placing their donations and bequests, so that donors can be assured that their generous gifts will be used and appreciated many years into the future. The Foundation will begin with a five-member Board of Directors, who will serve as the initial Trustees of the Foundation.  Members and Friends of Iowa Civil Air Patrol may donate to the new Foundation by sending their checks to Lt Col Douglas Tindal. Donations should be made payable to "Iowa CAP Foundation," and are fully tax deductible. Additionally donors may wish to consider amending their Wills in order to include a paragraph SIMILAR to the following: "Notwithstanding any other provision in my Will, I give the sum of $_____ to the Iowa Civil Air Patrol Foundation, in care of the Commander, Iowa Wing of Civil Air Patrol." Members and Friends of Iowa CAP may also wish to consider asking their life insurance agent to amend their life insurance policy to provide a portion of it to the Foundation. Appropriate language to accomplish that would include the following example: "I give the sum of $_______ to Iowa Civil Air Patrol Foundation, in care of the Commander, Iowa Wing of Civil Air Patrol." With either kind of donation a donor may include a reasonable description of what he or she would like to be accomplished with the gift. An example could be: "I request that my donation be used for cadet programs." OR "I request that my donation be used to provide scholarships to deserving CAP cadets to attend an encampment that they otherwise would not be able to attend." OR "I request that my donation be used to pay hangar rent for a CAP airplane at the XXXXX airport, or (in the Wing Commander's discretion) at another airport in any of the following cities: YYYY, or ZZZZZ, or AAAA, or   BBBB." These examples are merely meant to give you an idea of how your generous gift may be used to further goals that you yourself establish, within reason. The Foundation will endeavor to use only the income from your gift, and preserve the principle into the future. Finally, please let the Commander know if you or someone you know would make a good member of the Foundation Board of Directors. Other Wings are well ahead of Iowa in having Foundations that have over the years accumulated hundreds of thousands of dollars, for the benefit of their CAP work. Iowa, with its dedicated, generous, and energetic membership, will surely come to be a shining example of CAP at its best, in just a few short years.
Please contact the Iowa Wing Foundation Trustees, if you have any questions.
