BUSINESS GIVING CIRCLE
What’s the Business Giving Circle?
A business giving circle is a fundraising tactic inspired by numerous national non-profits and organizations. Businesses thrive when their communities thrive, and we invite you to become a philanthropic member of the TMBC Village. Organizations like TMBC succeed through community support, so we ask you to become a TMBC Village Captain.
What's A Business Giving Circle?
A Business Giving Circle is an opportunity for Quad City businesses to turn their dollars into change! TMBC invites businesses to help create lasting, empowering change for all in the QC. TMBC has shown it is a sustainable organization that effectively addresses the disparities in our community. We're now asking businesses to increase our work's impact to address our community's growing demands. Every gift inspires the next, and we can create a better QC for all.
Who's Recruiting Businesses?
Our TMBC Village comprises employees, board members, tenants, community members, volunteers, partners, donors, and other friends in the community. By leveraging our Village's collaborative network, we will maximize the efficacy of this fundraiser. We have identified 30 community leaders to become Giving Circle Captains. We will incentivize Captains to use their network to build teams of 5 and recruit donors. We will announce Incentives in the future!

The TMBC Solution -
When local leaders and businesses support the TMBC Business Giving Circle, they support the TMBC solution. The QC Community faces alarming disparities, and Black Quad Citians are affected by these the hardest. TMBC addresses this issue through culturally relevant programming and empowerment. We make the entire Quad Cities more equitable by educating and empowering our community's youth and families.
