| Grants Help Preserve the History of Troy Mills
Like many communities in Iowa and throughout the U.S., Troy Mills’ history includes a tie to the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF). The fraternity promoted philanthropy and friendship, and each chapter had a meeting hall. When the Troy Mills chapter disbanded in 1989, a group of volunteers stepped in to preserve the hall as a community space. Now, they’re taking on the task of preserving the community’s history itself.

Mary Junge Aligns Investments with Values
For Mary Junge and her late husband Dave, it was never too difficult to set philanthropic goals. As farmers, small business owners, and stewards of the land, they were eager to help those who might be following in their footsteps. Through the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Pool, Mary is ensuring their investments align with their values.
