The Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine announces that their office is moving from 208 West Second Street #213 to 104 West Second Street. 

The new location is adjacent to the Greater Muscatine Chamber of Commerce and Industry office, and across the street from Carver Trust.

Charla Schafer, Executive Director of the Community Foundation noted, “With recent growth of the Community Foundation, coupled with the need for greater distancing for the clients and team, our leadership believed it was the right time to make a move.”

The new space will afford clients street access to the storefront office, additional privacy in meeting space, and convenient parking.” 

The Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine has been in its current office building for the majority of its two-decade history.  Schafer added, “We are grateful to Tom and Ann Meeker who have served as our landlords over the last many years.  Ann even served as an early Board member.  We appreciate their contribution and commitment to the success of the Foundation.”

Schafer added, “We will also miss our neighbors, Skinny’s Barbeque, Fresh Vintage, the Hall Tree, Proof Social, Wine Nutz, MG Consulting, Plaza Hair Studio, United Way, Principal Financial Group, Port City Underground, and our good friend, Sandy Fortney, that keeps Pearl Plaza looking sharp.  But when we counted, we realized we are only 197 steps down the street!”

It is anticipated that the move will be completed by January 4, 2021.  The telephone number and email contacts will remain the same. Clients and interested parties are encouraged to stop in and see the new space.

Our office will be closed for Thanksgiving Thursday, November 26, and Friday, November 27, 2020. We will you and your family a very happy holiday!
