We use the funds donated to Alive and Running Iowa in various ways throughout the surrounding communities. In addition to the following, we are constantly in communication and working on projects with locally-based (Iowa) mental health professionals.

• 2 - $1,000 scholarships each year. One will go to a Dunkerton High School senior and the other will go to ANY student in Iowa, high school or college. Please ask your guidance counselor for the application.
• Billboard advertisement around the Cedar Valley
• Furniture and other needs for local mental health units
• Educational materials to local agencies who work with mental illness and suicide
• Fund local support groups in Waverly and Waterloo
• Sponsor local schools sports programs
