The Innovation Fund – Special funding enables creativity and innovation at IPR to develop new projects and programs which have the potential to better serve listeners and develop new, more diverse audiences.
The Journalism Impact Fund – Dedicated funding to the IPR Newsroom ensures ample resources for our reporting team to respond quickly during emerging news events and keep Iowans informed.
We are pleased to share the names of these donors who helped launch this fund and invite you to join them.

Second Century Endowment Fund – Endowed funds establish a foundation for the next century of Iowa Public Radio programming. Endowment earnings provide a permanent source of revenue and can support critical, but hard to fund behind-the-scenes operations in radio broadcasting.
