The Anamosa Community Foundation provides annual grants aimed at improving the economic well-being, quality of life, educational opportunities, community capital improvements, health, tourism, and recreation within Anamosa. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, churches, schools, and government organizations that provide services within Anamosa. Grants are typically not awarded to the same organization in consecutive years, and the foundation does not fund organizations with religious affiliations, recurring operating expenses, or multi-year projects. Applications are due by August 31, and grants are awarded in October, with all projects to be completed within one year.
