How We Fund Excellence
The Quad Cities Cultural Trust has spent years building funds and investing in the region’s deeply-rooted amenities. It didn’t happen overnight, and the work isn’t done yet! Each year the QCCT Board of Directors and Partner Organizations engage in a Granting Process which identifies the areas of greatest need and ensures that each and every dollar is maximized, because Culture Matters Here and it Always Will.
Every two years, each Legacy Partner completes a comprehensive application scored by The Cultural Trust Trustees. Scores determine a funding range between 5%-20% of their vital operating budgets, based on mission impact, public reach, and long-term vision.
