To encourage hope, faith, and growth in families and communities.
Josiah White's Quakerdale Foundation centers its grantmaking on organizations serving children and families through Christian values, and that mission shows up in repeated operating support for the same partners across multiple years. Quakerdale Family Services in Marshalltown received three large counseling-program grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, signaling sustained support for mental health and family services rather than one-time project funding. Another recurring recipient is Hope4healing in Gladbrook, which was funded to support a resource assistance network. The foundation also backs nonprofit infrastructure: White's Iowa Institute dba Quakerdale Business Services in New Providence received multiple operating grants, including support for nonprofit business services and consultation-related work. Grants also extend to camp programming, youth athletics, church training, and Christian outreach events, all aligned with its stated emphasis on hope, faith, and growth in families and communities. The pattern suggests a funder that combines direct service support with organizational capacity building for faith-based partners in Iowa and select organizations beyond the state.
A clear theme is counseling and family support. Quakerdale Family Services in Marshalltown received operating grants of $101,831 in 2025, $174,468 in 2024, and $145,199 in 2023 to support counseling programs. The foundation also supports resource-assistance work: Hope4healing in Gladbrook was funded with $55,000 in 2025 and $88,110 in 2024 for its network. Infrastructure support is another thread. White's Iowa Institute dba Quakerdale Business Services in New Providence received $60,000 in 2025 and $71,000 in 2024 for nonprofit business services. Faith-based youth and ministry programming appears as well, including $6,000 to Greenbelt Area Christian Concert in Iowa Falls for a Christian concert event and $10,000 to Camp Quaker Heights in Eldora.
Typical grants cluster around mid-five figures, with a p25 of $10,400, a median of $25,000, and a p75 of $59,750. The recent list shows repeated support to the same organizations over multiple years, including Quakerdale Family Services, Hope4healing, and several internal or partner ministries, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation operates through direct grants and also provides non-financial support such as leadership development, fundraising-platform access, strategic partnerships, and executive and board consultation. The informal consultation process is described as values-aligned, and unsolicited support is accepted for that service channel.
