The Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque is a regional nonprofit that coordinates philanthropic fundraising and community development across seven counties in and around Dubuque. Based in Dubuque, Iowa, it supports donors and affiliate foundations to convert generosity into lasting improvements by expanding access to resources and opportunities. Founded in 2003, it emphasizes listening to diverse community voices to identify needs and then mobilizes partnerships and assets to address them. Its work encompasses education, economic opportunity, and other social challenges as it works toward a vibrant, inclusive region. The organization engages in partnerships and community programs that align resources with local initiatives, including education-focused efforts such as a dyslexia tutor training program developed with Aspire Academy. In 2026, the foundation announced the retirement of its long-serving president and chief executive after 23 years, with a plan for a transition to a part-time senior role in the following year.
