This is the Future.

Raise $40 Million by 2024.

This important benchmark will allow for larger distributions to our existing Partners while growing our list of Partner Organizations and growing the corpus so art and culture will continue to grow and thrive.

Giving to QCCT is Different.

By supporting QCCT, you support the viability of our community. You create a destination that will attract future tourists and residents. Join us with a gift that allows QCCT to support art and culture today, while creating a lasting future.

This is a forever gift; we call it that because one-time investments can impact our community forever. This means looking at philanthropy through a different set of lenses. If you are thinking about a forever contribution, how do you know what your options are? Here are some different ways community members support QCCT.

  • A Planned Gift

    These multi-year commitments are a one-time pledge paid over multiple years

  • Gift of Stock & Bonds

    By making a gift of your appreciated securities, you can avoid paying capital gains tax incurred if you sold these assets, plus you receive a charitable tax deduction for the full value.

  • Endow Iowa Tax Credit Program

    This program is offered in the state of Iowa to promote endowment. The program gives an Iowa income tax credit of 25% to donors for qualified endowment gifts.

  • Gifts of Real Estate

    If you own appreciated real estate property, you can gift the property to QCCT and avoid paying capital gains at sale.

  • Life Insurance

    Popular with our young professional donors, you can take out a life insurance policy that names QCCT as the beneficiary.

  • Gift of Retirement Assets

    By making a gift of your retirement assets, you can provide sound funding to QCCT and avoid leaving your family with a taxable asset.

A Forever Gift

Is not a quick decision.

The Quad Cities Cultural Trust is proud to have a strong Campaign Committee ready to talk through what works best for you and your family. We welcome the opportunity to talk about the importance of this campaign and the forever mark it will make on our community. Each gift we receive may look different, because each donor is unique with a unique situation.
