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.

• 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.
