HOW TO HELP
The Foundation board has set the long term endowment goal at
$7,000,000. Interest earned on this goal would fund a full-time Borlaug
Education Residency Program, Borlaug Farm Preservation and
Maintenance Program in perpetuity.
The work of the Foundation is made possible by the dedication of
hundreds of volunteers. Volunteers are needed with a passion for yard
work, guiding tours, accounting, law, graphic design, web design and
social media, or public relations.
Iowans are encouraged to contact the Norman Borlaug Heritage
Foundation directly to schedule a tour or for more information about
donating money or time.
