Become a Donor

At the Quad Cities Community Foundation, we work to be your most trusted resource for community generosity. That’s why we partner with individuals and families, businesses and nonprofits, to create and grow charitable gifts that allow you to address our region’s most promising opportunities and pressing needs.

When we do that together, transformation can happen.

Charitable funds enhance the quality of life in our region, while also helping people like you to achieve your charitable goals and preserve your philanthropic legacy.

Gifting through the Community Foundation is simple. Really simple. Whether you know exactly which charitable causes you want to support or if you have a charitable heart and are not sure where to start, the Community Foundation team stands ready to listen to your ideas, and help you act to amplify goodness in our region. Our experience working with people like you is deep, from complex gift planning vehicles to some of the easiest ways to make a big impact on the organizations you have grown to love and support.


Interested in making a gift or starting a fund?

Consider these things, and then give our development team a call at (563) 326-2840 to talk about your options.

  1. Ask yourself what impact you want your giving to have. We will help you gift to the causes you care about and allow you—and your family—to play an active role in your giving. You can focus on a specific issue, particular nonprofits or even a whole community to support.

  2. Decide when you want to give. You can give right now (yes, right now!), plan a gift that will take effect after your lifetime, or do both. There are tax benefits for each timeline.

  3. Choose the type of gift that works best for you. Some gifts can provide special tax benefits and even generate income to you as a donor. Whether you start a fund of your own or contribute to an existing fund set up by a nonprofit, organization, family or individual, we will help you learn about all your gift options.
