Continue your legacy through investment in the next generation of Iowa National Guard leaders!

The mission of the Iowa National Guard Foundation is to support and improve the readiness and capabilities of the Iowa National Guard by providing educational and professional development opportunities for ALL members of the formation, both enlisted and officer.

We carry out this mission primarily by providing grants to junior officers, warrant officers, and enlisted servicemembers to attend professional development at state and national conferences.

Thanks to the 925+ donors and many dedicated volunteers, since inception, we’ve been able to provide:

• 285 officer/enlisted grants to INGOA/EANGI professional development events
• 60 officer/enlisted grants to NGAUS/EANGUS professional development events
• 65 Servicemembers have been awarded academic scholarships

In 2024, we sponsored 13 junior officers and 25 enlisted at the state conferences and dinners.

In 2024, we sponsored 4 junior officers and 5 enlisted to attend national conferences.

The following are testimonies from two of our NGAUS conference attendees:

“Mentorship outside of our organization was amazing. Had multiple opportunities to talk to senior leaders within different states … Warrant Officer break out was nice and helped connect with other senior Warrants within the 54.”

“A lot of information that was impressively organized, very beneficial and relevant in nature: provided maximum opportunity to include exposure with state leadership and peers alike. I already have it on my calendar for next year and would absolutely recommend attendance/participation!”
