ENDOWMENT CHALLENGE!
Seeds of generosity are securing a firm foundation
upon which the DABG will be built. The DABG has a
unique opportunity to build its endowment through
the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque. We
have received an endowment challenge grant from the
Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of
Cultural Affairs. The challenge started in January of 2015
and extends until the end of this year (December 2016).
The following donations were received
November 2015 - January 2016

“BLOOM INTO SPRING”
CHILDREN’S SPRING PARTY
The Children’s Spring Party will be held at the DABG
on Sunday, May 15, from 11 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Families
will be able to meet and greet their favorite characters
(such as Elmo and Dora the Explorer), play games, make
and take their own craft, tour a fire truck, police car and
ambulance, get their faces painted, take home balloons
and prizes. Families may also purchase lunch, drinks and
snacks. This is an all-around good time for $1 per person
(including adults) payable at the DABG front gate.
Our goal is to double our endowment.
Please consider a generous gift to the Dubuque
Arboretum Association Endowment Fund. For every $3
given, DABG will receive $1 in the endowment fund.
Each year, this endowment pays out 5% to fund DABG’s
general operating expenses.
Write your check to the Community Foundation of
Greater Dubuque and put in the memo: Dubuque
Arboretum Association Fund. You can mail it to us and
we will forward it on.
At 1 p.m., we will have a ribbon-cutting at the Lion’s
Club playground. With the support of the Lion’s Club,
we have added inclusive playground equipment for all
children, including those with vision and/or hearing
impairments.
THANK YOU to those who have already generously
contributed to the endowment.
Thank you to American Trust who is the sole sponsor of
this event.
