The Resource Enhancement and Protection/Historical Resource Development Program (REAP/HRDP) is funded by the Resource Enhancement and Protection  Act (REAP), passed by the Iowa General Assembly in 1989. Through REAP, local government units, various organizations, and private individuals can receive funding for eligible projects.  All programs are directly aimed at preserving and  enhancing Iowa's natural and cultural resources.  Collaboration is encouraged at various levels of county and municipal government.

The purpose of the REAP/HRDP programs is to provide reimbursable grants to preserve, conserve, interpret, and educate the public about certain resources.  The emphasis of REAP/HRDP is the resource, not the applicant.  Policies and procedures focus on saving resources and utilizing the abilities of recipients, program staff, and others to preserve those resources
