Impact Giving

We invite you to strengthen your commitment to IPR and consider giving at one of our Leadership Circle levels.

Impact giving allows Iowa Public Radio to expand, explore and create more intelligent, enriching and entertaining content both on-air and online. When you give at this level, you not only provide annual financial support but also foundational support that enables IPR’s growth. We are deeply grateful to the members of our Leadership Circle for their generosity and commitment to our mission. We welcome you to join in the advancement of public radio programming and outreach in Iowa.

Supporters looking to make a greater impact with their contributions have various options such as joining our Leadership Circle or contributing to special initiatives and projects.

Second Century Endowment Fund

Endowed funds establish a foundation for the next century of Iowa Public Radio programming. Endowment earnings provide a permanent source of revenue and can support critical, but hard to fund behind-the-scenes operations in radio broadcasting.
