Community Funds
HOW COMMUNITY IMPACT FUNDS WORK
You LOVE your community. And you know your community’s needs will change in the decades ahead. You turn to the Community Foundation.
We stay on the pulse of opportunities and challenges people and organizations face and make grants that infuse dollars into nonprofits addressing those needs.
You make a gift to the Community Foundation’s Community Impact Fund because you trust the Community Foundation to keep your community thriving forever.
Your gift joins a permanent endowment that supports needs and opportunities in the community as they arise.
Each year, we distribute a portion of the fund to support community leadership, initiatives and grants to nonprofits to make the community awesome for everyone.
QUAD CITIES COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND
The Quad Cities Community Impact Fund is a permanently endowed fund supported by thousands of donors from across the region. This fund allows the Quad Cities Community Foundation flexibility to respond to the most pressing needs and promising opportunities in the community, as they arise and vary from year to year. The Quad Cities Community Impact Fund makes possible our leadership in the community, philanthropic and nonprofit sector, as well as much of our grantmaking possible, from Transformation Grants to Nonprofit Capacity Building Grants and more.
Quad Cities Disaster Recovery Fund
The Quad Cities Disaster Recovery Fund provides support to organizations meeting the needs of vulnerable people and communities in Scott and Rock Island Counties, and ensures we have the resources to target our community's long-term recovery efforts after a disaster. Every dollar donated will be used for needs here in the Quad Cities area.
