Business : Benton County Community Foundation introduces new look

The Benton County Community Foundation has introduced a new logo. The Benton County Community Foundation is an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa (CFNEIA), and the new look is part of CFNEIA’s release of its new brand and redesigned website.

“As we looked at updating our logo and brand, the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa wanted to make sure the new look helped our affiliate community foundations raise awareness in their local communities,” said Jake Byers, CFNEIA Director of Marketing and Communications. “They are creating an incredible impact at the local level and we want to help them let people in their communities know about the good they do.”

The new logo is a shift from the past, putting more emphasis on the local community foundation. The new tagline, “Here for Good,” also places emphasis on local impacts. CFNEIA’s new mission statement, “To inspire people and connect resources to enrich our communities,” and re-envisioned vision and values statements, were also developed as to help guide the Foundation’s work.

The new website highlights the work of the Benton County Community Foundation, using locally branded pages and information specific to Benton County. The Benton County Community Foundation encourages individuals looking for ways to support Benton County, and nonprofit organizations and government entities looking for grant opportunities, to visit the new site at www.bentonccf.org for information.

The release of the new logo comes in the same year as CFNEIA’s 60-year anniversary. CFNEIA also recently moved to a new office location at 3117 Greenhill Circle in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

“We are excited to be celebrating such an important milestone in our history, and our affiliate community foundations are a very important part of who we are as a community foundation today,” said Kaye Englin, CFNEIA President and CEO. “The strategic changes happening now are part of our vision for the future. A huge part of that future is ensuring local impacts continue to grow through strengthened partnerships, all while CFNEIA’s role as a regional community foundation also increases.”
