The family of Mark Kendall, recently made a generous donation to create a new endowment fund through the Community Foundation of Washington County. Annual distributions from this permanent fund will be used to support the work of Latinos for Washington, a local non-profit and their work with persons who are in immigration process with USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) and Latinos seeking higher education. Mark Kendall was a well-known community entrepreneur, visionary and philanthropist who passed away in 2021 in a motorcycle accident. Donations of any amount to this fund qualify for the Endow Iowa tax credit, a program giving donors a state tax credit of 25% of the amount of their donation. The Community Foundation of Washington County was formed in 2006 and is an affiliate of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation. The Community Foundation of Washington County works together with many individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to establish endowment funds that provide grant awards for years to come.
