Community Foundation rebrands to define mission

The Community Foundation of the Great River Bend has a new name that emphasizes its Quad-City mission.

Now known as the Quad-Cities Community Foundation, the organization also has a new tagline: “Generosity lives here.”

President and CEO Sherry Ristau said Monday that the heart of the organization was rooted in empowering every person in the Quad-City region to learn more about generosity, and live it out. The foundation was launched in 1964, and today it manages nearly $140 million in assets for about a thousand charity groups.
