Brightview Bel Air Celebrates 20-Years
This post was contributed by a community member. Brightview Bel Air’s 20th anniversary on January 15th is twice as special for Brightview Senior Living, as the occasion also marks two decades of innovative leadership in the provision of vibrant, award-winning senior living for the parent company. “Brightview Bel Air was our very first community,” says Brightview Senior Living CEO Marilynn Duker.

Charity dollar can be stretched with programs
Giving to the causes you care about is rewarding in more ways than one when a contribution is made via the Community Foundation of Johnson County. Your gifts create lasting change for our community, and the Endow Iowa Tax Credit Program offers donors tax incentives making it easier to give. Donations of any size are eligible for a 25 percent state of Iowa Endow Tax Credit.
Foundation celebrates Rotary partnerships
Local service clubs are making a big impact in Johnson County. The Community Foundation of Johnson County is grateful to organizations such as 5224Good and Rotary Club of Iowa City AM, as well as other generous donors for their thoughtful approaches to giving. We invite all service organizations to add dollars to the granting pool to support programs and projects that benefit our community.
Affiliates doing good work for communities
We Americans love the Olympics. We love to cheer for our athletes and teams who work so hard to achieve their goals. At the Community Foundation of Johnson County, we are cheering for our Community Fund Affiliates. They are working together to reach the common goal of raising funds for their communities. And members of the board of trustees for all seven communities are working together to achieve a collective “stretch” goal — that of raising $50,000 in a single day on Aug. 18.
Community foundation still going strong
The Community Foundation of Johnson County has earned a reputation as a trusted financial resource through demonstrated stability and integrity. Our organization works with local advisors and others to maximize investment resources for the long-term benefit of our community. CFJC serves with individuals, business and nonprofit organizations to grow endowment provide ongoing support for area charitable organizations and meet our community’s greatest needs.
Golf outing to support community projects
At the Community Foundation of Johnson County we appreciate the many creative ways our donors make a difference. Casey Cook, founder of Cook Appraisal LLC/Garage Mahaul and an avid golf fan, launched a golf outing for CFJC, "Tee Off for Philanthropy/Team Up for Community." A decade later, his enthusiasm has not waned. Through the years, the Tee Off/Team Up golf outing funds have played a major role to support community projects, as well as our operation.
Company exemplifies local giving
It seems that everyone has a formula for giving, especially during the holidays. Not everyone is as creative as Innovative Software Engineering. Instead of just making a donation, ISE invited their employees to select nonprofit organizations they wanted to support. In turn, ISE would invest charitable dollars on their behalf. We applaud entrepreneur and owner Hass Machlab, who spearheaded an ISE gift of more than $6,000 to local nonprofits via the Community Foundation of Johnson County.
