The Linn County Board of Supervisors is now accepting applications for the fiscal year 2025 Witwer Trust Grant Program. Eligible nonprofit organizations in Linn County may apply for grant funding for projects that benefit Linn County residents.

The online application, eligibility requirements, and a list of frequently asked questions are available on the Linn County website at LinnCountyIowa.gov/Witwer. The application deadline is December 15, 2024. This is a competitive grant process.

The funding for the grant program comes from a trust established by Weaver Witwer, a prominent Cedar Rapids grocer and landowner who died in 1979. The trust provides $80,000 annually for this grant program.
