THE AMES FOUNDATION

In 1975, the Ames City Council appointed more than 30 citizens to the Ames American Revolution Bicentennial Commission to plan for the city's participation in the 200th anniversary of our country. Persons on this commission were given the opportunity to serve in one of three areas: Heritage, Festival or Horizon. Heritage volunteers dealt with history, the Festival group planned for the actual celebration and the Horizon team focused on the future of the city... Engaging with partners, we connect generosity with opportunity, to serve as a catalyst for public projects that enhance the quality of life for Ames residents.
