Keep Iowa Beautiful received a $7,500 grant from ITC Midwest to encourage student volunteerism for community service throughout Iowa. The grant will be used to support the Keep Iowa Beautiful (KIB) programming to connect community service needs with the personal interests and values of students.
“We are very grateful to receive this support from ITC, which will be used to enhance our programming to improve the beauty of Iowa’s countryside and communities across the state. This grant will help create opportunities for students to volunteer for the community service activities that match their own interests and values,” said Kevin Techau, Executive Director of Keep Iowa Beautiful.
