(Treynor, IA) – Four Corners Community Foundation (4CCF), formerly TS Community Foundation, recently held a ribbon cutting announcing their new name. Founded in 1999, Four Corners Community Foundation is designed to create impact in rural southwest Iowa through charitable giving and community projects. In 2019, 4CCF became an affiliate of Pottawattamie County Community Foundation, and as partners, continue to spur growth and prosperity in southwest Iowa.
The new name — Four Corners Community Foundation — represents the heart of rural Iowa towns. Often times the four corners or town square can serve as a main meeting place where community impact starts, a place of great ideas with community-minded people.
“At Four Corners Community Foundation we are excited for this new chapter and look forward to helping create impact for generations to come. We are a community of giving people,” said board president of 4CCF, Kelsey Stupfell.
“It is our desire to help people achieve more with their donations and connect them to resources,” added Stupfell. “Our new name, Four Corners Community Foundation, reflects our foundational mission to help maximize local philanthropy, support community projects, and connect more giving to individuals and organizations.”
As an affiliate of Pottawattamie County Community Foundation — an accredited community foundation – – donors
could be eligible for additional tax incentives such as the Endow Iowa Tax Credit, a program administered by the Iowa Economic Development Authority and is open to individuals, businesses and financial institutions. In two decades, 4CCF has helped the Treynor Optimist Club build a playground in the eastern city park, helped city organizers create the Veterans Memorial area including a show-stopping helicopter, as well as jumpstarted the Vision Treynor Group, which is working to bring new ball fields and a gathering place in town, among other projects.
Most recently, funds were created with the newly formed Treynor Parks and Trails Commission, a collaboration between the Treynor Splash Pad, Tristan’s Trails and Dexter’s Dream as well as with the Lamar Hartje Legion Post 725 to help more local southwest Iowa students attend Boys and Girls State. “This is an exciting time for the Four Corners Community Foundation and we are truly honored to help share this news,” said Pottawattamie Community Foundation President and CEO Donna Dostal. “Together, our collective work to amplify the strong culture of philanthropy in our region will continue to create lasting positive impact and a legacy of giving. We look forward to supporting Four Corners Community Foundation’s efforts in continuing to make our communities strong.”
