The Iberia Parish Enhancement Fund (IPEF) was established in 2007 and was the first affiliate fund of Community Foundation of Acadiana. What began as a $100 commitment and a desire to improve Iberia Parish has grown into a $100,000 endowment fund to benefit the community.
IPEF utilizes the resources, infrastructure and professional management of assets of Community Foundation of Acadiana while focusing attention on growing philanthropy in Iberia Parish. IPEF is advised by a Board of Directors made up of Iberia Parish residents who focus on broad philanthropic fields including social services, children and youth, the arts, education, community development, and more.
