Welcome to the GreenState Foundation! Our mission is to strengthen our communities in Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois by expanding access to financial education, affordable housing, and children’s health. We believe these pillars create a brighter, more secure future for everyone. From helping families make informed financial decisions, to opening the door to homeownership, to supporting the mental and physical well‑being of our youth, our Foundation is committed to changing lives—and we invite you to be part of that impact.

Education around finance encourages fiscally responsible behavior. We pursue equitable projects and programs that help possess the skills, experience, and knowledge to make informed decisions.
We believe a stable home is the foundation for everything in life. Being able to afford a safe place to live is a key part of the American dream of opportunity.
Our children are our future, and we seek out organizations that provide direct or supportive services for their mental and physical health needs.
