The Appanoose County Community Fund awarded 29 applicants from around the county in May. A total of $113,000 was given for projects inside the county. <\/p>\n
The organization receives funds from state gambling revenues each year. The structure was developed in 2004 by the Iowa Legislature to spread gambling funds to counties in Iowa, whether they have a casino or not. The Appanoose County Community Fund was set up in 2005. <\/p>\n
