In April, 130 fundraising professionals from more than 70 nonprofits gathered for the AFP-QC Success in Fundraising Conference.
The entire day was full of energy and inspiration, with so many leaders coming together to share ideas about how to improve our shared community.
Moline Regional Community Foundation was a proud sponsor and participant, every participant received a book by keynote speaker Mallory Erickson, courtesy of MRCF. As the AFP-QC posted on their Facebook page, Erickson’s presentation, “truly blew people away.”
Other organizations participating in this wonderful day were Quad Cities Community Foundation, Birdies for Charity, Wastyn & Associates, with Wezz De La Rosa Photography capturing the spirit in images!
The Aledo Opera House was the place to be on March 10th . . . at least until the tornado sirens went off!
Mercer County Forever Fund sponsored the event “Discover the Extra in Mercer County” with special guest Andrew McCrea, an Oscar-winning TV & radop broadcaster.
Thankfully the tornado sirens did not lead to tornado damage, and it was a wonderful night for all who came out.
The Mercer County Forever Fund provides annual distributions at the suggestion and recommendation of the Mercer County Advisory Committee, a task force of community leaders. Events like this and your generosity make a real impact in the community.
