Your Support Makes This Possible.

The Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation runs on donations from people who believe — like we do — that Iowans take care of Iowans.

Goes Directly to Programs

Your donation funds the work — the pork, the packaging, the event supplies, the getaway costs. Not overhead. The work.

Stays in Iowa

Every program the Foundation operates serves Iowans, in Iowa communities, where our farms and our people are.

Fully Transparent

The Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

How We're Funded

The Foundation was built on the generosity of Jeff and Deb Hansen, and the employees, contractors, and owner-operator truck drivers of Iowa Select Farms who give of their time and resources year after year. Our generous donors and sponsors make it possible to keep growing.

Every dollar that comes in goes back out into Iowa communities. That’s the deal we made at the start, and it hasn’t changed.

What You're Supporting

Fourteen programs. One mission. Your support touches all of it.

Nutrition & Hunger Support

One in five Iowans doesn’t always know where their next meal is coming from. We show up every summer, holiday, and school year with Iowa pork and a willingness to work.

Military Support

We work alongside veterans and service members every day. Saying thank you isn’t a gesture for us — it’s a practice we live by across Iowa.

Childhood Cancer Support

A diagnosis changes everything. We can’t take that away, but we make sure families fighting childhood cancer have a place to rest, gather, and find joy.

Rural Vitality

Small towns are Iowa’s heart and soul, and too often overlooked. We invest in their libraries, kids, 4-H clubs, and futures because we believe those futures are bright.
