BETTENDORF, IOWA (October 28, 2025) — For a limited time, the Quad Cities Community Foundation will match — dollar for dollar — any new gift to an endowment fund held at the Community Foundation, up to $500 per household.
A total of $50,000 in donor gifts will be matched.
The match opportunity opens at 8AM on October 28, and will close once all $50,000 in matching funds have been claimed.
“The $100,000 in total giving made possible through this challenge will strengthen the causes that matter most to our community,” said Sue Hafkemeyer, president and CEO of the Quad Cities Community Foundation.
“Moments like this inspire us all. It’s a reminder of the power of generosity and an opportunity to make your giving go further.”
Since 1964, the Community Foundation has championed the causes and organizations that make the Quad Cities region a great place to live, work, and play. Stewarding the giving of generous community members, the Community Foundation supports grants for vital non-profits, scholarships for local students, and a wide range of community resources — from parks and music venues to food banks and health services. Endowment funds provide steady, predictable charitable resources that will allow this important work to continue for generations to come.
“These matched gifts will continue to fuel annual support for our local nonprofits through the enduring power of endowment,” said Hafkemeyer. “A gift to the Community Foundation is a gift for today, and an investment in our shared future.”
This matching opportunity applies to new gifts made by cash, check, or credit card.
