State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald is alerting Iowa small businesses and nonprofits to their funds in the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt. “Iowa is known for small-town values, friendly smiles and helping hands,” said Fitzgerald. “We are a state supported by the hard work of small businesses and local organizations, which is why I want to extend my own helping hand and reunite Iowa organizations with their rightful money. To achieve this mission, I have compiled a list in Linn County with funds waiting to be claimed.”

“To claim your funds, search the name of your business or organization at GreatIowaTreasureHunt.gov,” added Fitzgerald. “The site is secure, easy to use and completely free.” Fitzgerald created the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt in 1983 to help reunite unclaimed property to its rightful owners. Unclaimed property refers to any financial asset, such as checking and savings accounts, stocks, life insurance premiums, uncashed checks, security deposit refunds and the contents of safe deposit boxes, that has been separated from its owner. After a period of inactivity, the property is turned over to the State Treasurer’s Office for safekeeping.
“We are holding over $400 million in unclaimed property, and it all rightfully belongs to current or past Iowans,” stated Fitzgerald. “It has always been my mission to return these funds, and the work is made even more rewarding when the funds are given back to small businesses and nonprofits who use it to improve our communities. If you know someone on the list, pass the word along!”
