THE SPIRIT OF COMPASSION
The Joan Joseph Foundation was established to build upon the visions and values of Joan Joseph, a Democratic leader, community organizer and humanitarian. Compassion was her hallmark and Joan's guiding principles and dedication to make the world a better place are legendary.
ABOUT JOAN
In the fall of 2009, a beam of light was pointed toward the heavens and a spirit was released to let the world know there is always a chance for us to make a better world. The legacy of Joan Joseph started with a simple knock on the door in 1972 when a representative of the McGovern Presidential Campaign asked for volunteers. It was the beginning of a long and successful political activism career for this social worker from New York.
FOUNDATION PROGRAMS
The Joan Joseph Foundation will provide scholarships and grants to post-secondary students as approved by the Board of Directors in the areas of human and animal rights, the arts and politics. The Joan Joseph Foundation does not provide loans.

At Woodland Cemetery, which is located at the intersection of Woodland Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Parkway in Des Moines, Iowa (Des Moines Township, Polk County).
Woodland Cemetery was established in 1848, and it is still active. The cemetery is huge, and it is filled with many old, interesting gravestones. There are several zinc (white bronze) markers, and many of these monuments were made by the local Western White Bronze Company. Most of the gravestones are in excellent shape, and the majority of monuments that have been damaged are now repaired. The cemetery is extremely well maintained. Saint Ambrose Cemetery is adjacent on the north side of Woodland Cemetery.
