You can make a difference at the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation both today and tomorrow. How? By combining a current gift with one for the future. This type of giving, called blended giving, allows you to make an even bigger impact than you thought possible.
 
Making a blended gift is easier than you think. Simply choose a gift that works for you today and pair it with one for the future. 

Make an Impact Today: Cash or check, Stock or appreciated assets, Tangible personal property, Life income gifts, Donor advised fund                    

Make a Difference Tomorrow: Gift in your will or living trust, Retirement plan assets, Bank or brokerage accounts, Life insurance policies

Why Blended Giving?
When you combine a gift today with a gift for the future, you:

  • Help the Blue Ribbon Foundation plan for the future with confidence, while meeting our needs today
  • Ensure we can continue preserving the historic Fairgrounds while making improvements all Fairgoers can enjoy today
  • Inspire others to give, while creating an Iowa State Fair legacy 

Plan Your Giving Strategy
Finding the best combination of gifts to meet your charitable and financial goals can be challenging. We are happy to work with you and your financial advisor or estate planning attorney to help you find the best giving options to meet your needs.
