About Grow Greene County Gaming

Grow Greene County Gaming Corporation’s grantmaking is built around adjusted gaming receipts from Wild Rose Casino in Jefferson, Iowa, and it shows up in large, recurring capital support for community facilities, fire protection, parks, and economic development in Greene County. Recent awards include $340,000 to Jefferson Park & Rec for capital expenditures and $144,000 to the Jefferson Fire Department for capital expenditures, both in Jefferson. The foundation also made a series of six-figure community investments through the Greene County Community Foundation, including $175,000 in 2024 and $174,948 in 2025 to support quality of life in Greene County. The pattern is place-based and tightly tied to county needs. Alongside city and county recipients, the foundation funds local organizations that anchor public amenities and services, such as Jefferson Matters Main St, Grand Junction Fire Department, Jefferson Pickleball Committee, and Greene County Medical Center. Economic development is another visible thread, with support to Greene County Development Corporation appearing multiple times in the recent grants list. The board also uses special awards and allocations to move money into the county and nearby communities through defined funding channels.

What Grow Greene County Gaming Funds

Community infrastructure is a clear priority. Grow Greene County Gaming Corporation gave $129,000 to Grand Junction Fire Department for capital expenditures and $118,000 to Jefferson Pickleball Committee for capital expenditures, showing support for both emergency services and recreation. Public amenities also appear through awards to city governments, including $88,281 to the City of Paton and $87,626 to the City of Churdan, each listed for capital expenditures. Economic development is another recurring area. The foundation awarded $100,000 to Greene County Development Corporation in 2023 and followed with $67,000 in 2025 and $61,695 in 2024, all tied to economic development of Greene County. Health and medical equipment appear as well, with an $81,500 grant to Greene County Medical Center. Education-related giving is visible in the broader focus list, but the recent grants table here emphasizes physical projects and community facilities.

How Grow Greene County Gaming Gives

Typical grant sizes cluster around the mid-five-figure range: the 25th percentile is $36,153, the median is $51,500, and the 75th percentile is $56,451. The recent grants list also shows several larger awards, especially for capital projects and countywide allocations. This is a recurring grantmaker rather than a one-off donor: the same recipients appear across multiple years, including Greene County Community Foundation and Greene County Development Corporation. The organization is not an individual-giving funder, and it does not make program-related investments. Its active programs include competitive grants, board-driven give-back awards, multi-year commitments, and contiguous-county allocations.
