Historic Arnolds Park Wins Okoboji Foundation’s July Nonprofit Challenge

August 07, 2020

(Arnolds Park)– Historic Arnolds Park, Incorporated is this year’s winner of the Okoboji Foundation’s July Nonprofit Challenge.

Officials say this year’s challenge brought in more than $134,000 in gifts to the foundation’s nonprofit partner funds. They say Historic Arnolds Park saw significant growth in donations enhanced by the Endow Iowa during the challenge, amounting to $83,333, with an additional $5,000 from the Okoboji Foundation.

Nonprofit partners created their own endowment or Endow Iowa funds within the Okoboji Foundation’s Charitable Giving Funds to build long-term support for their organization.

Although the 2020 challenge is complete, donors are still urged to contribute funds by going to GiveOkoboji.com or by mailing a check to the Okoboji Foundation at P.O. Box 593, Okoboji, Iowa…51355.

Donors and charitable giving funds partners are invited to meet the foundation’s new President, Mindy Gress, at a “Coffee and Conversation” event Tuesday, August 18th from 9:00 until 10:30 am and a wine and cheese meet and greet Thursday, August 20th from 4:30 until 6:00 pm. Both events will be held at the foundation office in Arnolds Park.
