ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (November 20, 2020) — The Royal Neighbors Foundation has made a series of donations to five local non-profit organizations including the YWCA, Friends of Hauberg Civic Center, Heart of Hope Ministries, Living Proof Exhibit, and Best Buddies at Augustana College.
“We were fortunate to receive a $20,000 grant in October. We decided to pay these dollars forward to a few of the many organizations who do so much to support the people of our community,” said Foundation President Mary Staver. “We asked Foundation supporters to nominate local organizations to receive the funds. An impartial panel of judges determined the recipients.”
Pamela Crouch, Executive Director of Living Proof Exhibit, stated, “Reducing the stress of a cancer diagnosis is especially important during this pandemic. This grant will help Living Proof Exhibit provide hope and healing through the arts to many Quad-Citizens touched by cancer.”
Said Matt Stoefen, Board Member at the Friends of Hauberg Civic Center, “This year has been challenging for so many and we are grateful for the support.”
“We hope these funds will help these organizations address the expenses and unforeseen challenges that have impacted them due to our current pandemic,” Ms Staver added.
