BETTENDORF, IOWA (July 1, 2025) — The Quad Cities Community Foundation is welcoming award-winning author Lois Buntz to lead a donor-focused event on the power of women in philanthropy. The free talk will be held at the Community Foundation on Thursday, July 17, 5:30-6:30PM.
“We’re proud to welcome Lois Buntz back to the Community Foundation,” said Anne Calder, Community Foundation vice president of development. “She brings an inspiring perspective and powerful data that will energize donors and spark valuable conversation.”
Buntz will explore the unique motivations and patterns behind women’s giving and share strategies for generous women to deepen their impact, engage other women donors, and align giving with personal values.
“Women have always been a force for good,” said Buntz. “They give more often, more generously, and with great purpose. It’s important to understand the data behind this trend and how we can support women doing good in philanthropy.”
Participants will come away with insights into emerging trends in women’s philanthropy, practical tools to engage and inspire women donors, and a renewed sense of purpose and clarity in their giving journey.
Attendees are invited to stay after the event for refreshments and networking. All are invited to connect, learn, and be inspired by the power of women in philanthropy.
