As we celebrate our 60th year, we also look to the future. Our strategic plan has been shaped by the input of community members, leaders, and the nonprofits we partner with. The plan focuses on one central goal: helping community members find meaningful ways to express their generosity and support the effectiveness of the nonprofit sector so all Quad Citians can thrive.

We’re celebrating staying active! Like many children, Dean and Deb Mathias learned to ride bikes at an early age. Unlike most, however, the couple’s love of biking has introduced them to lifelong friends, been shared with multiple family generations, taken them all over the globe, and guided them to give back to their community. Deb is secretary of the Quad Cities Bicycle Club, while Dean sits on multiple local committees, advocating for projects that enhance the region’s bikeability and walkability. Their passion led them to partner with the Quad Cities Community Foundation to establish the Deb and Dean Mathias Endowment for Bicycle and Pedestrian-friendly Communities. The fund provides grants for multi-use paved recreation trails and trail bridge infrastructure in the bi-state region. What are you passionate about? Come to talk to us and learn how you can combine your passion and generosity to create a transformative legacy. To start the conversation, call Anne Calder at (563) 326-2840

We’re celebrating a commitment to local education. Mary Elizabeth Sievert was a trailblazer and a passionate educator. Mary, a chemistry teacher at Central High School, also taught gifted and talented students and created the first high school bridge club, which traveled and played in tournaments. She was also a devoted community servant and guided the local chapter of the American Association of University Women for more than 50 years. Mary had a gift for getting others involved. As her friends recall, if she invited you to lunch, you would inevitably end up accepting a position on a committee. Mary’s greatest legacy is her love of education and mentoring. She encouraged and supported her students, making everyone produce their best efforts. To support future students, Mary created a plan in her estate for the Mary Elizabeth Sievert Scholarship at the Quad Cities Community Foundation, which awards to a graduating senior at Davenport Central High School who is outstanding in both science and leadership or service. Your legacy can help build the future of our community. Learn more about scholarships here: https://lnkd.in/d84Wa7ag

We were proud to be a part of this gathering. So much knowledge and passion in one place. Thank you for hosting, DuPage Foundation!
It's been a fantastic past two days hosting colleagues from throughout the state for the Alliance of Illinois Community Foundation’s (AICF’s) Annual Membership Meeting here in #DuPageCounty. Gathering with our fellow community foundations to learn, knowledge-share, and network sparks so many ideas for greater collaboration and impact! 📚💡 A special thanks to our friends at Northern Trust for providing some of the conference’s speakers and sponsoring lunch, Cynthia Hyett of the Busy Butternut for the beautiful spread at our welcome reception, and Dan Wagner and The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. for graciously hosting us for Friday’s membership meeting and second day of programs.

We’re celebrating advocacy for nonprofits and donors. Recently, the state of Illinois passed the Illinois Gives Tax Credit Act, which will incentivize up to $100 million in new charitable giving over the next five years. The Community Foundation advocates for new policies like this at the local, state, and national levels. We will always put our name behind legislation that recognizes the generosity of individuals, ignites philanthropy in the region, and ensures that nonprofit organizations have the tools and support they need to carry out their missions.
