ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (August 1, 2024) — The Doris and Victor Day Foundation Board awards $800,500 to 44 charitable organizations through its annual grants program.
These organizations will, in turn, significantly impact the Quad Cities, enhancing the lives of its residents and contributing to its development.
The contributions, a testament to the foundation's long-term commitment, stemmed from a significant ten-million-dollar gift from the Doris Day Estate in 1987.
This generous gift was intended to make the Quad Cities a “better place.”
“The Board had many difficult decisions to make with the grant docket this year,” said Tyla Sherwin-Cole, The Doris and Victor Day Foundation Executive Director.
“In response to the unprecedented demand for funding, The Foundation took a broad approach to our grantmaking to fund larger amounts to fund as many non-profits as possible with the limited funds available. We understand our critical role in providing general operating grants that are important to the organizations delivering the effective and impactful programs and services that contribute so much to the Quad Cities.”
