Grant opportunities to enhance your community.
Through our partnerships with local organizations and corporations, Keep Iowa Beautiful supports the beautification efforts of Iowa communities through grants and special services.
These grants allow communities to improve the aesthetics, recreation opportunities and landscapes of their towns, parks, main street corridors and more.
While funding requests are designed to be used for community benefit, some grants may require organizational management support. On partnerships with Institutes of Higher Education (IHEs) and other large non-profits organizations where grant management is supported by an independent office, indirect or F & A costs will be allowed up to a maximum of 10% of the total grant award.
