THE SPIRIT OF WESTFAIR HAS ALWAYS BEEN SHAPED BY PEOPLE — FAMILIES, NEIGHBORS, VOLUNTEERS, AND SUPPORTERS WHO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THEMSELVES.

NOW, IT’S OUR TURN.

“Westfair has been part of our family’s story for generations. From early childhood memories of attending with older siblings, to showing animals through 4-H and eventually watching our own children create those same experiences, Westfair has always been a place that teaches hard work, dedication, and community.

Over the years, Westfair has also created lifelong friendships — bringing together families and friends from communities across the region year after year.

We chose to support The Spirit of Westfair campaign because we want future generations, including our grandchildren, to experience the same sense of pride, connection, and opportunity that Westfair has provided our family for so many years.”

- Dan Elliott, 4-H Alum + Dad + Teacher + Community Partner

“The Spirit of Westfair campaign is about investing in something that has impacted generations of families across our region. Westfair has long been a place where young people learn responsibility and leadership, where communities come together and where memories are made. We are proud to support a project that will help ensure those opportunities continue well into the future.”

-Adam Leber, Senior Vice President of Frontier Savings Bank and Treasurer of the Westfair Board

WAYS TO SUPPORT

Westfair’s future is being built by donors who want to leave a lasting mark. Here are a few of the most impactful ways to give:

Multi-Year Giving
Spreading your commitment over time makes a bigger gift possible, and this option has become one of the most popular among our donors.

Gifts of Grain
A tax-smart way for farmers to give. Simple, meaningful and rooted in the land that sustains Westfair.

Gifts of Stock
Turn appreciated assets into impact. Donating stock may provide tax advantages while helping build the future of Westfair. A smart way to give that grows opportunities for generations to come.

Estate Gifts & Endowment Support
Leave a legacy by including Westfair in your estate planning, or by investing in our endowment at the Community Foundation for Western Iowa, ensuring support for generations to come. The Friends of Westfair are happy to walk you through this process, if necessary!

Donor-Advised Fund Contributions
If you have a donor-advised fund (DAF), you can direct a gift directly to The Spirit of Westfair campaign or the endowment at Community Foundation for Western Iowa.

LET’S DO THIS TOGETHER
