Honoring a Visionary: The Matthew 25 Clint Twedt-Ball Legacy Fund

Announcing the creation of an endowed fund in Clint's honor

After 19 years of dedicated service, Clint Twedt-Ball is stepping down from his role as Executive Director of Matthew 25. While transitions like these are never easy, they offer a moment to reflect on impact, legacy, and the power of vision.

Clint didn’t just co-found Matthew 25—he built a movement rooted in neighborliness, resilience, and hope. From rebuilding homes after the 2008 flood, to creating the Cultivate Hope Urban Farm, Groundswell Cafe, Cultivate Hope Corner Store, the Tool Library, and more, Clint has spent nearly two decades dreaming big and working even harder to bring those dreams to life. His belief in the potential of Cedar Rapids—and the people who call it home—has transformed neighborhoods and inspired many.

To honor Clint and ensure his legacy continues well into the future, we’re proud to announce the creation of the Matthew 25 Clint Twedt-Ball Legacy Fund, an endowed fund held at the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. This fund will support the ongoing mission of Matthew 25, helping us continue the work that Clint poured his heart and soul into.

We invite you to help us launch this fund with momentum.
