The Empowerment Circle is a cohort of donors who contribute $1,000 or more annually to Able Up Iowa. Their support invests in the success of Iowans who are committed to achieving and maintaining financial independence.

It is only through supportive community partners that Able Up Iowa can consistently serve Iowans facing poverty. It is essential we expand our cohort of individual donors to meet the needs of our members. By investing in the lives of our Iowa friends, family members and neighbors, Empowerment Circle donors play an important role in giving our members the financial services and support to move from a place of vulnerability to empowerment.
