Thank you for your interest in Variety. We welcome gifts small and large to assist us in supporting our mission. You may make a general donation, program-specific donation, or pay a pledge/invoice by clicking the "Donate Now" button.

General Donation

Give to Variety

Thank you for making a donation to the Variety – the Children's Charity. Every gift, large or small, helps Variety improve the lives of children who are at risk, underprivileged, critically ill, or living with special needs throughout Iowa. General donations are used to support Variety's grants and programs.

Legacy Giving

Legacy Giving

Legacy gifts provide lasting, significant support to the children of Iowa through Variety's endowment. Outlined below are just some of the many ways you can leave a legacy. As with any important financial decision, we recommend that you consult a financial advisor as you consider your options.

  • Make a bequest in your will.
  • Designate your life insurance policy
  • Designate your retirement plan 

For more information, or to inform Variety that you have left a legacy gift, please email Wendy Ingham.  

Workplace Giving

Support Variety and Iowa’s children through workplace giving via payroll deduction by asking your HR department to set up automatic donations, either one-time or recurring. You can also check if your employer offers a matching gift program to double your impact. All workplace gifts to Variety are tax-deductible, and if your workplace participates in United Way Employee Giving, you can designate Variety as your charity of choice.

Matching gift forms or United Way Employee Giving paperwork can be submitted to the Variety office by emailing alicia@varietyiowa.com.
