The Caitlin Clark Foundation announced on Wednesday that four $22,000 grants have been awarded to Iowa charities that inspired Clark while she was a student at the University of Iowa.

I am proud to be a part of each of these organization’s efforts and the meaningful impact they provide for the people of Iowa,” said Clark.
