Iowa law provides that only “non-profit” organizations can apply for a gambling license. In Scott County, two organizations were formed and hold the license for the casinos including the Scott County Regional Authority (SCRA). The mission of the SCRA is to serve the needs of

the residents of Scott County, Iowa, through the distribution of gaming funds received from the Isle of Capri Casino-Bettendorf.

The SCRA provides funding through a grant process. The funds are generated from gaming receipts received through the Isle of Capri Casino-Bettendorf. Funds are awarded twice per calendar year. Applications with guidelines and procedures are available

online at www.ScottCountyRegionalAuthority.com. The current cycle grant applications are made available March 1 and September 1, being due April 1 and October 1, respectively. Grants are read by 3 panels; government, education and non-profit.

Panel members read and score each grant which is then averaged with the scores from other panel members. The entire panel then meets to discuss, review and determine awards.
