The Winterset RAGBRAI Committee is pleased to announce final selections have been made to award several local projects a portion of the $45,000 raised on July 23 during RAGBRAI’s overnight stay. The committee received more than 25 applications for a total request of nearly $200,000. While there were many worthy projects to fund, ultimately the committee chose to support the programs located within Winterset, and which most closely aligned with their mission statement of showcasing the heart of Winterset by providing RAGBRAI visitors a taste of our small-town magic. The projects chosen were picked for the impact they have on Winterset for citizens and visitors alike.
 

The committee would like to thank every organization that applied for funding, and thank all of the volunteers, sponsors and community members that helped make 2024
RAGBRAI in Winterset such a success. The impact of your support will be felt
throughout Winterset for years to come.
