George Daily Family Trust

Mahaska County Community Foundation (MCCF) Grants

Two grant programs are available through the MCCF: the Yearly Grant Program and the City Challenge Grant Program. To apply for the Yearly Grant Program, applicants must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, a governmental body (school, city, county) or a charitable project with a qualified fiscal sponsor. City Challenge Grant Program applications are restricted to the ten municipalities in Mahaska County.

Revolving Loan Program

The Mahaska County Revolving Loan Fund provides low-interest loans to assist industries and businesses that desire to locate, expand, or diversify their business in Mahaska County. 

To be considered for a revolving loan, the new project should focus on job creation and preservation and bringing positive change to the local economy and community. Special consideration will be given to those applying for a loan as a manufacturer or industry-type business as opposed to those who are in the retail/service-type business.

Golden Goose Funding

The Golden Goose Club (GGC) is a Mahaska County ladies' organization made up of generous members who donate $100/calendar quarter. They then vote on community improvement projects presented to them. The project receiving the most votes gets the funding for that quarter.
Additional details About the Golden Goose Club can be found here.
