While the end of the calendar year is often associated with a time for giving, the impact of your generosity is helping change lives every day.
Food for a struggling family, transportation to a medical appointment for a senior citizen, counseling for a troubled youth, all examples of small of acts of kindness which mean everything to the recipient.
This is your Giving In Action.
Every year, hundreds of Moline Regional Community Foundation donors support our local nonprofits. This collective impact is always awe inspiring, and 2025 was no exception. Your generosity in the community you love is truly amazing. Here are a few highlights:
Nine new partners came on board last year to help serve your generosity in the community!
Your giving in action helped fund special projects from the Moline Public Library, the German American Heritage Center and Museum, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center, and scholarships for students to become future community leaders.

It is with great pleasure to announce this year’s scholarship recipients! Moline Regional Community Foundation is honored to support the donors who established these awards, representing a collective investment of $108,000 in the future of local students.
“Each scholarship carries a unique story, a legacy of generosity, purpose, and hope. These scholarships serve to recognize and encourage scholars as they pursue their educational and career aspirations.” -Krisan Steiger, Goodness Advocate
