Where The Money Goes

CCDA > CCDA Projects

Since the beginning of riverboat gambling in this area in 1991, the Clinton County Development Association (CCDA) has award- ed more than $30 million dollars to deserving county organi- zations. The CCDA’s purpose is to provide financial assistance through grant programs for communities and local charities that provide an improved overall vitality and quality of life in Clinton County, through their educational, social, cultural, and environmental programs and initiatives. Organizations propose individual projects that are independently rated by our Board Members. Those projects that capture the hearts, minds, and imagination tend to receive a greater proportion of funding

In 2023, over $2 Million was awarded to non-profit organiza- tions through grants, and scholarships. These dollars can be seen throughout Clinton County providing improvements to services that enhance the lives of residents. Examples of proj- ects include: playground equipment at Northeast and DeWitt Elementary Schools; Uniforms and equipment for Clinton Coun- ty Special Athletes; Emergency equipment Andover Fire, DeWitt and Delmar Fire Departments.

The CCDA proudly supports a diverse selection of Clinton County non-profit organizations, and all of these projects add to the already impressive list of projects partially funded by CCDA dollars. CCDA is the non-profit license holder for the Wild Rose Casino and distributes a percentage of profits from Wild Rose to surrounding non-profit organizations.
