Iowa Girl Foundation

In our first century, the IGHSAU transformed girls' interscholastic athletics.

In our second, the Iowa Girl Foundation will carry that legacy forward.

1927 Iowa Started it All

No other state in the country has the rich history of girls high school athletics than Iowa. The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union has provided opportunities for its girls since its formation.

As the IGHSAU approaches its 100th year, The Iowa Girl Foundation has been established to help empower future generations of Iowa Girls!

"I sit on top of a very precious commodity in this state - the Iowa Girl - and I have to give all the dignity I can to her so she receives the prestige she deserves.... We want the Iowa Girl to know she walks as tall as the Iowa boy."
