Who We Are

The Linn County Gaming Association (LCGA) is a nonprofit, community-focused organization committed to supporting the long-term wellbeing of Linn County. While we hold a state-issued gaming license in partnership with an operator, our purpose is not entertainment — it is community investment.

Our mission is to serve as a trusted steward of funds generated through licensed gaming and return meaningful resources to local organizations and public entities through responsible, impactful grants.

  • To strengthen Linn County by investing in programs and initiatives that improve quality of life, expand opportunity, and support the people who call our community home.

  • A thriving, connected Linn County where nonprofits and public partners have access to the resources they need to deliver lasting impact.

  • Integrity & Transparency
    We commit to open communication, accountable processes and clear decision-making.

    Community Focus
    Our investments support local people, programs and systems that create sustainable change.

    Partnership
    We collaborate with nonprofits, local governments and community leaders to align efforts and multiply impact.

    Impact-Driven
    Every dollar awarded will be tied to measurable, meaningful results for Linn County.

  • LCGA will dedicate a minimum of 8% of net adjusted gross revenue generated through our licensing partnership back into the community through grants and community investments. These funds will support initiatives across priority areas such as:

    • Health & Human Services

    • Youth & Family Programs

    • Education & Workforce

    • Arts, Culture & Community Development

    • Municipal & Civic Improvements

    Beginning in 2027, these investment areas will be further defined as our grant-making framework is finalized.
