GIVING BACK

Gaming BUILDS Communities Through Philanthropy

The latest Building Communities Through Philanthropy annual report of grantmaking highlights how using a portion of gaming tax revenue results in tremendous benefits and impact. Thanks to the legislators’ vision more than 15 years ago, the 2022-2023 comprehensive report is impressive and shows the impact of the county endowment fund program grants and casino grantmaking.

Grantmaking activities support each of Iowa’s 99 counties and catalyze significant philanthropic and public-private partnerships. These grants support various needs in Iowa communities, including human services, education, health, the arts, the environment, and community/public benefit.

We are united in the effort to promote the gaming industry’s positive economic impact on our state.
