Two Quad-City nonprofit organizations will receive Transformation Grants from the Quad-Cities Community Foundation to expand Quad-City workforce development efforts.

Vera French Mental Health Center and Mercado on Fifth each will receive $100,000 Transformation Grants thanks to donors who give through the Quad-Cities Community Impact Fund at the foundation.

Transformation Grants celebrate and support efforts that benefit multiple organizations or systems, and align with the Community Foundation mission and Q2030 Regional Action Plan to make the Quad-Cities more inclusive and equitable.

“Nonprofits in the Quad-Cities play a vital role in supporting workforce development efforts in the region, and we want to make sure they have the tools to create and sustain initiatives that provide opportunities for people from all walks of life,” said Sherry Ristau, president and CEO of the Quad-Cities Community Foundation. “These grants are a boost to help them get to that next level for the efforts they support."
