EAST MOLINE COMMUNITY FUND AT A GLANCE
A Bit of Background
Never doubt that a small group of people can accomplish great things. In 2011, four people gathered to finish the final details of the new East Moline Foundation. Bob Baecke, Bill Phares, Doug Reynolds, and Ben Ryan Jr. (Deceased) had been planning for months with The Moline Foundation to form a geographic-based affiliate fund. Now known as the East Moline Community Fund, the original founders are joined by Larry Anderson, Kimberly Crane, Willie Ellis, Eric Davis, Connie Dowsett, Cathie Rochau, Shaun Taylor, Jen von Kaenel, and Matt Wright. This group works to raise funds to benefit the community, to review and allocate grants for charities that benefit East Moline, and to accept legacy and estate gifts.
