Northwest Iowa — Some local entities will share in $530,000 in grants awarded through the Alliant Energy Foundation.
Northwest Iowa Community College in Sheldon received $3000 toward scholarships. Alliant Foundation officials say it will help with workforce readiness.
Nearby, the City of Milford was awarded $500 for a children’s summer reading program, and Iowa Lakes Community College is the recipient of $2,000 for scholarships.
To date in 2025, the Alliant Energy Foundation has awarded nearly $1.3 million, with one grant cycle in the year remaining.
They tell us grants are awarded for projects that focus on community safety and engagement, environmental stewardship, workforce readiness along with hunger and housing.
In our area, Alliant Energy serves several communities in Lyon and Osceola counties, including Lester, Little Rock, George, Ashton, Ocheyedan, and Harris. Alliant also has customers in eastern O’Brien County, and a very small area of service northwest of Matlock in Sioux County.
