Learn MoreNEW LINK - Enhance Iowa announces CAT grant application deadlines
In last week's eTraveler the link to the Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant program was incorrect. This has been updated.
Due to increased funding for the CAT grant program, the Enhance Iowa Board announced two application deadlines: July 15, 2022, and January 15, 2023. CAT grants assist city, county or nonprofit organizations with funding vertical infrastructure (construction) projects related to recreation, education, entertainment and cultural activities. The grant application is available on the Enhance Iowa website. The Legislature allocated $10 million for the CAT program in FY23.
