Restrictions

The foundation primarily serves north central iowa and south central minnesota, with most grants supporting organizations in forest city. Preference is given to projects that leverage matching funds or use foundation support to catalyze additional fundraising. Requests outside these areas May be considered if they align with the foundation's mission to strengthen communities.

About this data

Figures are aggregated from John K and Luise V Hanson Foundation's IRS Form 990-PF electronic filings (2 filings on file, most recent tax year 2024). Totals reflect grants the foundation reported as paid, and can lag the current year because foundations file annually and often on extension. Source: IRS 990-PF filing on ProPublica.
