Founded in 2006 Giving Back to the Irene area
The Irene Community Foundation was formed in 2006 to provide financial support to charitable and nonprofit purposes in the Irene area at the recommendation of a local Board of Directors. It is also in place to act as a vehicle of charitable giving for anyone who would like to give back to the community of Irene.
A subdivision of the Irene Community Foundation is the Sherman and Kimiko Petersen Promise scholarship fund. Sherman was a 1945 graduate of Irene High School. The Petersens recently passed away, but their gifts will continue to Irene-Wakonda High School graduates. We have been informed that this fund has been remembered in their will.

As the Irene Community Foundation grows, so will our ability to give grants to the community. Since inception, over $82,000 has been given to support charitable work in Irene. Sherman and Kimiko Promise scholarships have totaled $135,000.
Our Contributors

As the funds grow, so will our ability to give back to important projects and scholarships.
