Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TRANSFORMING OUR REGION THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF OUR DONORS

Activities or mission (Part I)

QUAD CITIES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION IS A COLLECTION OF ENDOWMENTS AND OTHER CHARITABLE FUNDS. 4.5% OF THE ROLLING 20 QUARTER AVERAGE BALANCE IS DISTRIBUTED TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR REGION WITH A GOAL OF "TRANSFORMING OUR REGION THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF OUR DONORS."

  • UNRESTRICTED AND DESIGNATED GRANTS - GRANTS ARE ALLOCATED THROUGH BOTH RESPONSIVE AND PROACTIVE METHODS. A COMMITTEE MADE UP OF BOTH BOARD AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS MEETS TWICE EACH YEAR TO REVIEW GRANT APPLICATIONS AND AWARD RESPONSIVE GRANTS. A BOARD COMMITTEE FOR STRATEGIC GRANTMAKING REVIEWS CURRENT COMMUNITY ISSUES TO IDENTIFY LARGER SCALE PROJECTS AND PARTNERSHIPS. STAFF PROVIDES COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP AND FACILITATES CONVENING OF NATURAL STAKEHOLDERS TO ADDRESS BOARD IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES. LARGER MULTI-YEAR GRANTS ARE CONSIDERED AND AWARDED BY THE BOARD APPOINTED COMMITTEE AND MONITORED FOR IMPACT. THE MAJOR ISSUES CURRENTLY BEING ADDRESSED ARE BASED ON OUR COMMUNITIES' REGIONAL VISION PLAN THAT INCLUDES ICONIC NATURAL ASSETS SUCH AS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER, CULTURAL AMENITIES, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, CRADLE - CAREER DEVELOPMENT, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION, COMMUNITY COLLABORATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

    Expenses $5,665,176 · Grants $5,665,176

  • DONOR ADVISED GRANTS - THE QUAD CITIES COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OPERATES DONOR ADVISED FUNDS TO FULFILL ITS MISSION OF "TRANSFORMING OUR REGION THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF OUR DONORS." DONORS ADVISE STAFF OF REQUESTED GRANTS, AND STAFF PERFORM DUE DILIGENCE ON SUCH REQUESTS. IF THE GRANT IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY STAFF IT IS AWARDED. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS GIVEN A LIST AT EACH BOARD MEETING FOR APPROVAL. EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF GRANTS INCLUDE DISTRIBUTIONS TO NON-CHARITABLE ENTITIES FOR A CHARITABLE PURPOSE. FOR EXAMPLE, PAYING A RETAILER DIRECTLY FOR THE LUMBER TO BUILD PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT RATHER THAN PAYING A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION TO GO PURCHASE THE LUMBER OR TO PROVIDE FUNDS TO A MEMBERSHIP SERVICE ORGANIZATION FOR A CHARITABLE PROJECT. QCCF ADHERES TO EXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITY RULES WHEN NECESSARY.

    Expenses $3,922,441 · Grants $3,922,441

  • ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR GRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM - THIS SUPPORT CONSISTS OF PROCESSING ALL GRANT AND SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS INCLUDING PERFORMING DUE DILIGENCE, SUPPORTING THE GRANTS COMMITTEE, PREPARING THE CHECKS AND ANY REQUIRED FOLLOW UP. THIS ALSO INCLUDES STAFF TIME FOR CONVENING KEY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS FOR DISCUSSION ON LARGER, MORE STRATEGIC COMMUNITY ISSUES.

    Expenses $404,287

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
