AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Nonprofit Funding Watch: IRS Form 990 rankings show how much local nonprofits rely on government grants, with Fayette’s Rainbow Land Preschool hitting 39.2% (2024), Albia’s Monroe County Activity Center leading at 33.6%, and Dubuque’s Firefighters Association topping the city at 88.8%. Community & Culture: “GraveTok” is turning local history into a social-media mission, as Aberdeen’s “Graveyard Girl” and an Iowa nurse restore headstones and share the stories behind them. Politics at the Fair: The Des Moines Register Political Soapbox featured governor candidates Zach Lahn and Rob Sand, plus other Iowa races, as campaigns leaned into direct voter contact at the Iowa State Fair. Local Education: Summit Cove Elementary will have Shelly Martinez as interim principal for 2026-27 after leadership changes. Sports & Entertainment: Field of Dreams continues to fuel baseball talk, while the Savannah Bananas’ Banana Ball spectacle is contrasted with traditional fandom.
