MATTHEW 25 DONORS

Our Donors

Thank you to all of the individuals, corporations, and foundations who are helping to improve the health of people and neighborhoods in Cedar Rapids! You are instrumental in continuing to move our mission forward by supporting our work in food, housing, education, and community building.

Healthy Neighborhoods Campaign

Thank you to all of the generous donors who helped us achieve our $1.4 million goal for the Healthy Neighborhoods Campaign, which is bringing a new community grocery store and housing opportunities to the Time Check neighborhood. View a list of the campaign’s lead donors.

Talent Investors Society

Members of the Talent Investors Society are those who have made an annual gift of $500 or more, decided to include Matthew 25 in their will or estate planning, or served on a board or committee. We couldn’t do the creative, forward-thinking work that we do without the foundational support given by these dedicated supporters. Learn more about this group.
