The Iowa Nonprofit Resource Center has, after a year of production, finished a 27-minute video about the value of nonprofits to the state of Iowa. Richard Koontz, Coordinator of the INRC and Kevin Kelley of the UI Video Center did the interviews and editing of the footage of the Iowa nonprofit sector. The video features the African American Historical Museum and Cultural Center (Cedar Rapids), Northland Agency on Aging (Decorah), Jazz Arts, Inc. (Council Bluffs), Montgomery County Historical Society (Red Oak) and Family Services League (Waterloo).

Materials about the College of Law Legal Clinic's work on nonprofit cases and the INRC is included throughout the video. Boards of directors, fundraising, volunteerism and community building are issues explored with each organization in the video. We expect to distribute copies to agencies in Des Moines, as well as various libraries. A shortened, three-minute version of the video was played at half time at several UI basketball games, helping us spread the message that nonprofits are critical to Iowa and need to be well supported.
