Description
The Operations and Programs Grants from the Quad Cities Community Foundation are designed to support nonprofit organizations with flexible funding for either general operating expenses or ongoing program initiatives. The program pools resources from multiple field of interest funds, with awards aligned to donor intent and community priorities in six focus areas: Animals & Environment, Arts & Culture, Community Development, Education, Health, and Youth Development. The intent is to sustain and expand the impact of established, effective organizations and programs serving the Quad Cities region (Scott County, IA; Rock Island County, IL; and a 60-mile radius of Rock Island, IL for select funds).
Preference is given to requests for general operating support and to organizations with a track record of success and community impact. The streamlined application process allows nonprofits to apply once and be considered for multiple funding streams.
