Our partners make it possible
Government PartnersFederal, state and local government partnerships enable Big Brothers Big Sisters to make significant impact in rural and urban centers within our service area. We have been awarded competitive grants that are often funded for a 1 to 3 year window. Most government funding sources are awarded with "local match" and growth requirements. Local match means we need to raise financial support locally from individual and corporations to match the amount recieved from the grant. This match often is in the 20 to 50% local match range. We are also obligated to achieve a certain level of impact within the targeted population or community. Of course, as a recipient of government funds, we also comply with the highest accounting and reporting procedures. No grants that we recieve from is a reimbursement for services. All of our programs are open to children, families, and schools at no cost. Current government funding sources to BBBSMV include: Federal/State Government Funding Sources:
County and Local government Sources:
Henry County 708 Board City of Rock Island- Gaming Fund Allocation Program
AMERICORPS Iowa Commission on Volunteerism
United Way Sources: United Way of Kewanee If you are interested in partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters on public policy initiatives, please contact Jay Justin, President and CEO, at jjustin@bbbs-mv.org or 563.323.8006.
