Who We Are
The Linn County Gaming Association (LCGA) is a nonprofit, community-focused organization committed to supporting the long-term wellbeing of Linn County. While we hold a state-issued gaming license in partnership with an operator, our purpose is not entertainment — it is community investment.
Our mission is to serve as a trusted steward of funds generated through licensed gaming and return meaningful resources to local organizations and public entities through responsible, impactful grants.

Beginning in 2027, these investment areas will be further defined as our grant-making framework is finalized.
