Welcome to the IOWAccess Revolving Fund

The purpose of the IOWAccess Revolving Fund is to create and provide a service to citizens of the state that will serve as a gateway for one-stop electronic access to governmental information, transactions, and services at state, county, or local levels. In this role, the fund supports agency proposals for funding of electronic projects.

Who can request support from IOWAccess?

The following are guidelines for reviewing requests:

• The request must be made by a State of Iowa, county, or local government agency
• The request must meet the mission of the government agency
• The request must provide a service to the citizens of Iowa
• The website/application must provide electronic access to government information or transactions whether federal, state or local.
• The government agency can outsource management of the website to a non-profit organization, but the agency is ultimately responsible for the information contained therein.

IOWAccess Funded Projects

Since 1998, $14.3 million in e-Government projects have been financially supported by IOWAccess.

Some of the projects include:

• Iowa School Alerts
• Online Iowa Sex Offender Registry
• State Patrol Accident Reports
• Licensing of Teachers, Engineers, Accountants
• Online Mapping of Food Inspections
• Campground Reservation System

Enterprise Licensing and Permitting Solution for the State of Iowa

Governor Chet Culver issued EO 26 in October 2010 which directed:
DAS/ITE shall continue to develop enterprise applications to support transparency into the state’s processes and financial management programs, including the deployment of one-stop shop licensing portal for government services.

Following extensive competitive procurement processes, the Boards of Nursing, Medicine, and Dentistry determined that a configurable, off-the-shelf commercial product was the solution to their licensing needs.  The resulting Master Agreement allows State agencies to rapidly expand this system to meet their needs.  Partial funding by the IOWAccess Revolving Fund contributes to financing and innovative funding arrangements have resulted in several agencies' expansion.
