- [Certifications and Standards for Nonprofit Foundations](https://molineregionalcf.org/certifications-and-standards-for-nonprofit-foundations/): When you donate to any nonprofit, you want to be certain your donation is going to help the cause you care about. As your community foundation, the Moline Regional Community Foundation (MRCF) is nationally accredited by the Council on Foundations. The Council’s rigorous standards require transparency and accountability including all aspects of our legal and operational functions. The adherence to these standards has provided thousands of area donors the confidence to establish endowment funds with the MRCF. The Foundation’s Work You can learn about the types of funds available to you through the Moline Regional Community Foundation on our website. […]
- [What Is An Endowment?](https://molineregionalcf.org/what-is-an-endowment/): When you visit the Moline Regional Community Foundation (MRCF) website, you will see the term endowment referenced multiple times. Encouraging and inspiring people to give back to the community through endowments is our primary purpose and more than 120 organizations, families and individuals currently have an endowment with MRCF. How is an endowment different from other acts of philanthropy? Endowments are permanent gifts designed to provide annual financial support to nonprofits or causes the donor has designated. Endowments keep the principal donation amount intact, while the interest and income earned is used to provide funding. This allows the donor to […]
- [What is a Community Foundation?](https://molineregionalcf.org/what-is-a-community-foundation/): When you’re looking for ways to make a positive impact in your community, but aren’t sure where to begin, looking to a community foundation is a great place to start. So, what exactly is a community foundation? A community foundation is a public charity dedicated to improving the lives of area residents in a defined geographical area. Funded by donations from individuals, families, and organizations, nonprofits receive grants to support their vital work and missions. Community Foundations offer numerous types of grantmaking funds including donor-advised, nonprofit endowments, scholarships, field-of-interest, and donor designated funds. This unique flexibility allows individuals the opportunity […]

- [Teaching Giving](https://molineregionalcf.org/teaching-giving/): In a few weeks, the new Junior Achievement Inspiration Center in Moline will open its door to area educators and students. This beautiful, modern facility will annually host more than 8,000 area youth as they apply their classroom financial literacy and career exploration in a real-life simulated setting. While these students are learning about important career options and personal finance, thanks to creative thinking between JA and Moline Regional Community Foundation leadership, they will have an opportunity to give back to the community. The “Giving Tree” will allow students to take action and donate to one of three area nonprofits. […]
- [Illinois Gives](https://molineregionalcf.org/illinois-gives/): As you may have heard or can ascertain from the name, the new and groundbreaking “Illinois Gives” legislation will be a game changer for Illinois-based nonprofits. Effective January 1, 2025, any Illinois taxpayer making a financial gift to an endowed fund at an accredited community foundation will be eligible for an additional 25% Illinois tax credit. The goal is to inspire and incentivize permanent support for the nonprofits who work daily to improve Illinois residents’ quality of life. Only a handful of States offer this opportunity, and our legislators and community leaders are to be commended for their commitment and […]
- [You May Never Know](https://molineregionalcf.org/you-may-never-know/): Whether it is the family who receives needed services from a nonprofit designated by the donor, or a student awarded a scholarship, many of our donors never meet the recipients of the giving. This humble anonymity and faith amaze me. Faith in our area nonprofits, in creating a better community for all, and in a better tomorrow. While he was not talking specifically about giving, the Dalai Lama may have said this best. “Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into the water, the actions of individuals can have a far-reaching effect.” To learn more about […]
- [The Best Way To Predict The Future](https://molineregionalcf.org/the-best-way-to-predict-the-future/): While visiting with students and donors during the scholarship awards reception, I realized that I may have missed a great opportunity to share Abraham Lincoln’s sage advice: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” Listening and watching this congenial and authentic connection between generations reminded me how hope is one of the strongest human feelings. Donors want to invest in the future and often honor a classmate, educator, or family member with their scholarship. Students share their plans and aspirations with genuine honesty and optimism. Being in the company of many hopeful people showed me that […]
- [Partnering for a Better Tomorrow](https://molineregionalcf.org/partnering-for-a-better-tomorrow/): The National Philanthropic Trust notes: “more than 30% of US adults formally volunteered last year. Additionally, $499.33 Billion was donated to nonprofits, with individuals comprising the majority (64%), or $319.3 Billion.” Giving is deeply personal. You take action by volunteering and financially supporting the causes and nonprofit organizations you genuinely care about. Finding your purpose brings meaning and health to your life, and your generosity creates a better community to live, work, and play in. Two dozen local nonprofits have established a Nonprofit Partner Fund at the Moline Regional Community Foundation to improve our community. These endowed funds are invested, […]
- [A Bright Future](https://molineregionalcf.org/a-bright-future/): Besides blossoming trees, emerging flowers, and warmer weather, one of the sure signs of Spring is the number of high school graduation ceremonies. This annual rite of passage is both nostalgic and full of hope. A review of the student scholarship essays is a testament to the immense potential these young people hold. Their plans reflect their educational and career aspirations as well their determination to make a positive difference in the world we all share. Through the generosity of our donors, Moline Regional Community Foundation has 20 scholarship opportunities with 35 recipients to help financially support their ambitions. These […]
- [A Thankful Future](https://molineregionalcf.org/a-thankful-future/): “Do something today that your future self will thank you for.” —Anonymous Are you the type of person who believes in a better tomorrow? Whether you are a meticulous planner or more of an idealist dreamer, if you believe in a positive future, the next step is to take action. I am fortunate to partner with individuals, families, and organizations who are committed to improving our community through their giving. For many, this includes establishing an endowment fund for a cause they care deeply about. Endowments are permanent, self-sustaining, invested funding sources. Each year a portion of the fund is […]

Joining a Trade?](https://molineregionalcf.org/college-bound-joining-a-trade/): Moline Regional Community Foundation offers 22 Scholarship Opportunities to supplement your tuition or educational needs. Interested? Apply here: Log on – Scholarship Lifecycle Manager |(grantinterface.com) In 2023, 30 Students from the region received 34 scholarships, and they are all on their way to becoming educated, productive members of society.

- [New Year, New Opportunity to Change Lives](https://molineregionalcf.org/new-year-new-opportunity-to-change-lives/): The New Year is a common time for people to make resolutions. It’s natural to want to be better personally and not accept the status quo. Moline Regional Community Foundation is fortunate to collaborate with many wonderful individuals, families, and organizations throughout the Region whose giving changes lives and improves our communities daily. Their steady, daily commitment to positive change is truly amazing. A study from Scranton University found that only 19% of people keep their resolutions, and most give up halfway through January. The problem is not willpower but how we approach our New Year’s resolutions. We see a […]
