Local Community Fund

Louisa Solar Power Community Fund

This fund will provide flexibility to meet ever-changing community priorities over the life of the project. As administered by the Foundation, grants will be available through an open, competitive, application-based process to support Muscatine County or Louisa County communities, with preference given to initiatives focusing on community resilience (particularly emergency preparedness, such as fire safety and flood prevention), agriculture, and the environment.

Examples of preference for funding include, but are not limited to:  

  • Undertaking flood prevention and management initiatives

  • Providing education and resources for young farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs

  • Promoting local food systems and farmers’ markets to enhance food security

  • Implementing programs and initiatives focused on reducing pollution, improving waste management, and promoting clean energy solutions 

  • Supporting sustainable farming practices and agriculture initiatives

  • Developing green spaces, community gardens, and tree-planting initiatives that improve air quality and provide recreation areas

  • Offering emergency response training and resources for disaster relief, building resilience to natural disasters, and improving local infrastructure to withstand emergencies

  • Initiating projects that improve road safety through better signage, pedestrian crossings, and public awareness campaigns

  • Fostering community relations through social engagement initiatives such as community meals

  • Creating or revitalizing parks, playgrounds, community gardens, and other public spaces that encourage social interaction and physical activity

  • Supporting education and skills development such as local high school student scholarships, vocational training, community workshops, and after-school programs
