Foundation News: December 2024

IUMF scholarships open until March 1st


We're excited to once again support students across Iowa! With over 100 scholarships (totaling over $200,000) to award, the Foundation encourages all United Methodist students to explore our scholarship opportunities.


Visit our website to learn more, then click Apply Now when ready, and you'll be directed to a third party site to complete your application.

IUMF also encourages students to consider scholarship opportunities offered by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM) and the UM Higher Education Foundation (UMHEF).


We participate in UMHEF's Dollars for Scholars as well as GBHEM's Excellence in Clergy Leadership Scholarship, both of which allow students to increase their scholarship amounts (up to 4x!). These programs provide even more ways to support students on their educational journey - take advantage of them starting January 1st!

Announcing the 2024 Carma Mohler Grant recipients


Each year, the Foundation recognizes organizations across Iowa dedicated to fighting hunger. Carma Mohler, an Iowan who was deeply committed to this mission, inspires the grant program that carries her name. This year, generous gifts from the IUMF Board of Directors and the Roger & Mary Kay Dial Fund allowed us to fund two additional applicants!


It is our honor to present the 2024 Carma Mohler Grant recipients.


Applications for hunger relief grants are accepted annually from July 1st to October 1st. If your organization is working to combat hunger, we urge you to apply next year!

Thank you certificate holders!


As we approach the new year, the Foundation would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks to our generous certificate holders. Whether you are an individual or a church, we truly appreciate your support!


By investing in a certificate with the Foundation, you not only earn returns, but also help fund loans to Iowa churches for vital building projects, such as the accessibility ramp pictured. Thank you for enabling us to support these meaningful ministries!
