Keep Iowa GrowingIowa’s Farmland Giving Program

…for the love of the land

Why?Farmland is by far Iowa’s most valuable asset:

Total number of farms 88,631 Total amount of farmland 30.6 million acresAverage farm size 345 acresAverage dollar value per acre $8,716Aggregate value of Iowa farmland

is estimated at $267 billion

Why?

The Community Foundation’s 30 affiliated county community foundations, together with Polk County, hold a combined 9.5 million acres of farmland.

If Keep Iowa Growing captured only 1% of this farmland, the value of assets held for charitable causes would be an estimated $866 million.

Why Now?

Less Debt. Iowa farmland without debt:

1982 – 62%

2012 – 78%

Average age of farmland owners

56% of Iowa farmland is owned by people over age 65

30% of Iowa farmland is owned by people over age 75

Compared to 12% in 1982

Lack of succession planning and estate planning

Why Now?

Protect Iowa’s Wealth

The projected transfer of wealth in Iowa through 2049 is $198 billion

Promote Charitable Giving

During one of the largest transfers of wealth in history, the Community Foundation must be proactive and innovative to provide options to channel this wealth to charitable causes.

How It Works
