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.
We exist 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.
