At United Way QC, we believe big things happen when committed people, companies and organizations unite to make a difference.
Any chance we get, we will celebrate the program partners, corporate investors and individuals who love this community to its core — and make impact possible through their support and leadership.
The following is a list of everyone we want to share credit for our collective wins during our 2022-23 fiscal year, as outlined in our 2023 Annual Impact Report.
Our Born Learning Academies for parents are supported thanks to United Way’s Women United donors. Thanks also to past Born Learning program partners listed below.
Special thank you to our corporate investors for their past support for Read United.
Thanks also to the following school districts for their partnership with our Read United program: Bettendorf, Davenport, East Moline, Moline-Coal Valley, North Scott, Pleasant Valley, Rock Island-Milan, Silvis and Spring Forward.
Our United for Schools investors understand the importance of surrounding students with a community of support, recognizing that this is key to keeping them engaged and thriving in school. They are dedicated to enhancing our impact by providing resources that empower students succeed.
Vision to Learn provides free vision screenings, eye exams and glasses to children from low-income neighborhoods through a partnership with United Way QC and elementary schools. It is made possible only through forward-thinking investors and funders, listed below.
2023 marked the tenth year of enhancing the student success for the United Way Quad Cities’ Education Council. Comprising superintendents, business leaders, skilled trades representatives and funders from Scott and Rock Island Counties, this dynamic council serves as a unique regional asset, fostering cross-sector partnerships.
For 20 years, United Way Quad Cities, in partnership with the American Association of Retired People (AARP), has coordinated the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, to provide free and reliable assistance for low- and moderate-income individuals and families in filing their tax returns.
Special thank you to these investors and funders for the spring 2023 tax season:
Special thank you to our partners who helped collect nutritious meals for low-income students and their families throughout the summer. Our 2023 “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive netted twice as many meals as the year before.
Thank you to the National Association of Letter Carriers, local union leaders and the River Bend Food Bank.
Thank you to our Quad Cities Dividend Program founding members — corporate partners who know firsthand how a pledge a small portion of future success today can have an enormous impact tomorrow.
As our tried-and-true community leaders transition to the next chapters in their lives, the need for young people to fill the leadership ranks is more important today than ever before.
Fortunately, thanks to corporate and private investors, over 230 Emerging Leaders are learning about the changes facing our community and how to become part of the solution using strategic foresight.
