The Linn County Board of Supervisors is accepting applications for Linn County’s Economic & Community Development Fund. Linn County created the fund to foster and support economic growth and enhance quality of life in Linn County.
This is a competitive grant process open to eligible organizations located in Linn County or that have a branch location in Linn County and whose work benefits Linn County residents. This year, $100,000 is available.
Grant funds must be used for projects or programs that benefit Linn County residents. Applications for programmatic and capital projects will have priority over requests for operating support. Preferred applications will be for projects/programs that accomplish the following:
- Promote economic growth and/or community development in Linn County
- Demonstrate return on investment dollars
- Do not duplicate current economic development initiatives
- Demonstrate a sustainability plan for project continuation beyond Linn County funding
The application deadline is 5 p.m. July 28. Application information is available on Linn County’s website at LinnCountyIowa.gov.
