DES MOINES, IOWA — Volunteer Iowa today released nomination materials for the 2026 Iowa Volunteer Hall of Fame Awards.

Any Iowa individual, national service member (current or alum), family, group, organization, nonprofit, business, or corporation, who has made a long-lasting positive and meaningful difference in the lives of people through their volunteer service activities, may be nominated for the Iowa Volunteer Hall of Fame.
