The Washington County Riverboat Foundation announced its 3rd quarter city grants last week. Riverside and Ainsworth were two of the eight cities in Washington County receiving funds through the Municipal Grant Program, which totaled over $334,000 this quarter.

A grant in the amount of $24,413.38 was awarded to the City of Riverside, while Ainsworth will receive $10,032.89. Since 2006, Riverside has been the recipient of $1,085,441.87. The City of Ainsworth has been given $588,007.38. Funds received by the cities of Washington County are programmed by each City Council.

WCRF is the nonprofit license holder for the Riverside Casino & Golf Resort, which provides the entirety of its funding. Each quarter, the Foundation distributes 25% of its total revenues directly to eight cities in Washington County, based on population. Since the opening of the Casino in 2006, WCRF has granted more than $15 million in total Municipal Grants.
