Barlow Family Foundation

The Barlow Family Foundation was established to continue the personal philanthropy of Robert W. and Jerene Barlow, which they practiced in the Iowa Falls area during their lifetimes. It is run as the philanthropic arm of the Iowa Falls State Bank, which the Barlow family still owns today.  Bob and Jerene’s generous contributions have made a difference, especially in the lives of children, and, in their memory, we want to fulfill their desire to fund special projects.
