Guidelines & Procedures

Proceeds from the Isle of Capri Casino will be put to use each year to enhance the quality of life in the Cedar Valley rather than withheld to build an endowment. We will bank reserves sufficient to meet our expenses and obligations.
These guidelines apply to all grants:

- Applicants must be public agencies, educational organizations or not-for-profits
- Applicants must demonstrate ability to complete and operate their proposals
- Applicants must demonstrate their tax status to qualify for funding
- Applicants receiving grants must offer annual written proof of performance
- Applicants may be asked to present in person at the invitation of the Board
- Payments will match the percentage of other payments grantees have received
- Projects must be started and completed on time and completed as presented. Failure to do so may be cause for the Board to suspend future payments and demand repayment of payments rendered
- Projects must benefit the public rather than private individuals or organizations
- Projects must stand on their own merit
