About RICF

The first investments to the Rock Island Community Foundation came from the Foundation's eight founders on April 16, 1967. Each member simply reached into their pockets and donated $20 a piece. Since then, the Foundation has given away nearly $1,200,000.00 (including 2011) to community groups. The Foundation has grown to nearly 2 million dollars in assets.
