Description
The Operations and Programs Grants, offered by the Quad Cities Community Foundation, provide flexible funding to nonprofit organizations for either general operating support or program support. This initiative aims to strengthen the long-term sustainability and impact of nonprofits working in the Quad Cities region (Scott County, IA and Rock Island County, IL, or within a 60-mile radius of Rock Island, IL for certain funds). The program is designed to streamline the application process, allowing organizations to apply for support from multiple foundation funds with a single application, while honoring the intent of each fund and addressing a broad range of community needs in animals & environment, arts & culture, community development, education, health, and youth development.
