CVC was commended for our contribution of donations to help fund scholarship programs for the AGC of Iowa Foundation, AGC of America Education & Research Foundation, Iowa State University, and Hawkeye Community College. Numerous other organizations benefited as a result of CVC’s donation to the Community Foundation of Waterloo/Cedar Falls & Northeast Iowa.

The Bravo Awards program was initiated in 2001 to recognize those Associated General Contractors of Iowa (AGC/I) member firms who are involved in improving the quality of life in their community and who project a positive image for the construction industry through contributions of funds, labor, materials, equipment and leadership. In many communities throughout the state, AGCI members are leading corporate citizens. With this comes a degree of responsibility for philanthropy.
