Scott County Regional Authority (SCRA) plays a pivotal role in Scott County, Iowa, by administering and distributing gaming-derived grant funds to non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and government entities. Established as a non-profit corporation, SCRA serves as the Qualified Sponsoring Organization for the Isle Casino Hotel Bettendorf. Its primary operations revolve around reviewing and awarding grants, which are sourced from gaming receipts as regulated by Iowa Code 99F. Since its inception in 1991, SCRA has awarded over $101 million in grants, supporting a diverse array of local programs in areas such as education, public safety, the arts, and community services. The authority is an important financial partner for organizations seeking to enhance community well-being, address social needs, and improve infrastructure across Scott County. While it does not manage cargo, shipping, or traditional port facilities, the SCRA’s significance lies in its substantial impact on local civic and service operations. Grant applications are considered biannually, and the organization maintains a transparent process with guidelines available to prospective applicants. Offices are located within the Isle Casino Hotel Bettendorf’s administrative wing, reinforcing its close connection to the local gaming industry and the funding it generates.
