About US



The Quad Cities Contributors Council (QCCC) is a consortium of local philanthropy leaders. The QCCC does not award dollars, but is a group that works together to promote the success of Scott and Rock Island counties' non-profit organizations.


The QCCC reviews capital and endowment campaign applications four times a year. And the group's goal is to provide guidance that will assist in assuring that approved projects are financially viable, fully fundable, non-duplicative and strengthening to the organization and the community.
