COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GREATER DUBUQUE
COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GREATER DUBUQUE. In 1999, a group of community leaders met to explore the feasibility of establishing a community foundation in Dubuque, Iowa. After completing its research, the group felt strongly that a community foundation would provide community leadership and nonprofit support essential to Dubuque’s future.
The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque was incorporated in October 2001 and went public in October 2002. The Community Foundation office opened its doors in the Dubuque Building on February 1, 2003, and Nancy Van Milligen was named as president/CEO.
