Iowa City Municipal Airport Charitable Giving Fund takes flight

The Iowa City Airport Commission is excited to announce it has established the Iowa City Municipal Airport Charitable Giving Fund, which aims to raise money for improvements to the Iowa City Municipal Airport.

The Iowa City Municipal Airport is a vital gateway to our city and is critical to support local businesses and medical facilities. It also serves as a community resource for diverse educational, sports, and cultural activities. The fund will assist with general support, upkeep, beautification, and capital improvement to buildings, equipment, and grounds at the Iowa City Municipal Airport.

Those interested in donating can do so in one of the following ways:

Make a donation by credit card at the Community Foundation of Johnson County’s website: click on the “Donate” button above.

  Note: specify “for the Iowa City Municipal Airport Charitable Giving Fund”
The first project supported by the fund will be the new art mural on the Airport hangar that faces Riverside Drive. The mural is being facilitated through a partnership with the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee.

The fund’s first goal is to raise $35,000 to cover the cost of the mural. Those who donate will be acknowledged on a plaque inside the Airport’s terminal, though anonymous gifts are also welcomed.

For a limited time, through July 15, 2023, those who donate over $5,000 will be allowed to propose a personally-connected design element, such as having their aircraft included in the mural as a thank-you. This will be limited to the first seven qualifying donations received above $5,000 or until we reach our funding goal. One proposed design element per donation regardless of total amount. All proposed design elements are subject to final approval by the artist and the Airport Commission.
