Giving Back to the Community

Summit's philanthropy is geared toward improving healthcare, establishing collaboration and upgrading facilities to have a lasting impact.

Some of Summit’s charitable endeavors include:

Hospital Sao Lucas

Seeing an opportunity to improve healthcare in Mato Grosso, a $1 million gift established a new maternity ward at Hospital Sao Lucas in Lucas do Rio Verde, Mato Grosso where one of FS’ biofuel plants is located. In addition to the construction of the new facility, a knowledge sharing program was established for local doctors to collaborate with doctors from the University of Iowa to improve outcomes for all patients.

The Iowa State Fair

The Iowa State Fair is the state’s premier event, and a $1 million gift to the Blue Ribbon Foundation helped enable the renovation of the 4-H Exhibits Building. This gift provides necessary funds to help the Blue Ribbon Foundation improve the fairgrounds for the benefit of all fairgoers that attend each summer as well as attendees of off-season events that utilize facilities throughout the rest of the year.
