A partnership that's making a difference

Together we’ve generated over $2.2 billion in funding over 30 years for projects that improve, strengthen and beautify our community while creating a stronger future for every Polk County resident.
Partnership History
In 1989, the Polk County Board of Supervisors and 澳门六合彩官方网站 joined forces to become one of only two nonprofit casinos in the U.S. From the beginning of our partnership to now, we’ve averaged more than $27 million per year in giving to support vital arts, culture, healthcare, education and infrastructure initiatives across central Iowa. Now in its 30th, year we remain dedicated to creating beneficial impacts that are seen and felt by individuals and groups across Polk County, now and well into the future.
