Grants for Local Organizations

The Quincy Service Club Foundation continues to demonstrate a lasting financial impact on the Quincy community by providing significant support across a wide range of projects and organizations. From vital capital gifts like $10,000 to rebuild a fire-damaged facility at the Saukenauk Scout Reservation and $10,000 to help construct a permanent concert venue in Madison Park, to sustained investments in the Bill Klingner Trails and Jackson-Lincoln pool complex, the Foundation champions quality-of-life initiatives. It also provides operating support to the Children’s Advocacy Center and Cornerstone First Steps Programs, contributes to the Quincy Children’s Museum, and underwrites meaningful traditions such as Wreaths Across America, the Alzheimer’s Walk, and Thanksgiving dinners through the Salvation Army. Through these and many other grants, the Foundation plays a powerful role in strengthening our community’s future and enriching lives.
