The grant shall be for the benefit of persons residing in Allamakee County in Iowa.

The ACCF receives funds each year from the Iowa Department of Economic Development County Endowment Program. Seventy-five percent of the money received is granted out each year. The other 25 percent is maintained in a permanent endowment with the income to be distributed in future years. The Allamakee County Community Foundation promotes stronger communities through annual grants, building endowments for nonprofits, and providing community leadership through convening.
