What We Do
Our Story
Small communities often have big ideas—but finding the funding to bring them to life can be overwhelming. Funding Beacon was created to make public infrastructure funding easier to navigate. Born out of a graduate research project and informed by direct conversations with municipal leaders, our platform is designed specifically for towns under 5,000 residents in Iowa.
We are passionate about empowering rural communities with tools and knowledge to unlock funding for roads, water systems, broadband expansion, and more.
Our Mission
To illuminate funding pathways for civic improvement projects, empowering Iowa’s small communities with clarity, access, and actionable information.
Our Vision
A future where every small town has the resources to invest in its people, places, and progress.
