Fulton Gardens Fund Grant

The Fulton Gardens Fund Grant, established by the Quad Cities Community Foundation, honors Gerhart A. Kopf and aims to enhance public gardens in Fulton. The fund supports various needs including softscape costs for plants, hardscape expenses for landscaping, labor for installation and maintenance, and equipment purchases. This initiative empowers local residents and organizations to create and sustain beautiful garden spaces, fostering community engagement and environmental appreciation.

The Facts
And that’s why we work—day in and day out—to be the trusted place where generous people in the Quad Cities (and beyond!) make gifts to support their community, specific organizations and causes most important to them.
Through gifts and funds established at the Quad Cities Community Foundation by donors, for our community, we award grants and scholarships to people and organizations residing primarily in Rock Island County, Illinois, and Scott County, Iowa. Through our network of Geographic Affiliate Funds and Community Funds, we also serve the residents and needs of surrounding counties.
How we do it
The Quad Cities Community Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors of community leaders and is administered by a full-time professional staff dedicated to helping connect people who care with causes that matter. We offer extensive knowledge about charitable organizations and can help you make informed decisions about charitable giving.
The Fulton Gardens Fund was created in memory of Gerhart A. Kopf to continue to support public garden areas in Fulton.
