What Keota Unlimited does
Mission
Keota is located in Keokuk County, Iowa, which has been declared an economically disadvantaged area of the state. Keota is a small farming community of approximately 1,000 people located in Southeastern Iowa, approximately 1 hour from any large city. These factors can inhibit the ability to attract and retain new businesses, employers, workers or families.The significant activities of the organization in 2021 included completion of substantial improvements to the Keota Trailhead of the Kewash Nature Trail, business district beautification efforts, listing in the area visitor's guide, and a grant to the Washington Economic Development Group.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
As a part of its economic development mission, Keota Unlimited has encouraged business development and welcomed new businesses to the community. A ribbon cutting and welcome event was held upon the opening of a new hardware & variety store and medical clinic in 2025.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $267k to $35k (−87%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of Keota Unlimited’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
