As many of us were just sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner, retailers were already gearing up for Black Friday sales and flooding our inboxes with Cyber Monday deals. During this hectic holiday season, the spirit of giving is often lost in the rush of shopping and decorating.
 
This year, reclaim the true meaning of the season by giving back to your community on Philanthropy Friday, December 16. With more than 125 funds supporting local nonprofit organizations, the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque can connect you to the causes you care about most. We can also help you take advantage of charitable tax incentives like the 25% Endow Iowa state tax credit and the IRA rollover for charities so your generosity can go even further.

Give online now or text HERO to 27722 to donate $10 instantly to the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque. You can also learn more about local nonprofits in the Giving Center.

It doesn't take a big bank account to be a philanthropist--just a big heart.
