Building stronger campaigns, together.
The Contributors Council champions local nonprofits as they prepare for transformational fundraising campaigns.
With a renewed focus on early partnership, greater flexibility, and a streamlined path forward, these updates are designed to empower organizations to lead bold efforts that strengthen the nonprofit sector and the Quad Cities region.
Our mission
Start stronger
With a revised pre-application stage and self-guided readiness tools, organizations now have earlier access to QCCC support—making it easier to plan, prepare, and position a campaign for success.
Focused on fit and impact
New evaluation criteria help align funding decisions with both organizational missions and community priorities, ensuring campaigns succeed and strengthen the Quad Cities as a whole.
Less guesswork, more guidance
From optional conversations with Council mentors to a simplified application form, the process is designed to clarify expectations and provide meaningful feedback at every step.
Decisions when you need them
With updated online systems, flexible participation options, and clear communication tools, the process better respects the capacity of both applicants and Council members.
