Foundation Overview

---

The Colton Baschke Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to honoring Colton’s memory and supporting community enhancement. The foundation became incorporated June 19, 2018. Colton’s legacy remains in the hearts of all his family, friends, and community. Our goal is to keep his memory thriving with outreach development driven by Colton’s passions.

The funds raised in 2018 were given directly to the Humane Society of Northwest Iowa. Colton was a huge animal lover and advocate. He volunteered at the local pet shelter in his free-time. Thank you to all of the sponsors and participants in our 2018 events.

The funds raised in 2019 were partially donated to the Humane Society of Northwest Iowa to sponsor several animal adoptions. In addition, we used proceeds to file for the 501.C.3 tax exempt status. Other proceeds have gone to helping animals with vet bills, supported our pet food assistance program, and community enhancement program.

How are proceeds used?

Funds raised for the Foundation will directly help our community and improve animal welfare. A scholarship in Colton’s name to local college students is provided to support local k-12 youth, help fund our pet food assistance, pet health, and community enrichment programs. 

Your donation or support will directly help our mission to further these important causes. Our Foundation raises donations in several ways. We hold community events throughout the year, accept donations, and offer foundation merchandise to be purchased. To donate or get involved please visit our Get Involved page.
