What began as a memorial fund is now the Optimist Club Foundation of Davenport.
The Foundation is a 501c(3) entity dedicated to financial maintenance and growth earmarked for supporting Quad Cities' youth. Contact a board member for more information about our local programs or to donate. |

The Foundation shares support and hope through these recognition programs:
The Ivory/Optimist Award Scholarship A scholarship named for Fran Ivory, a long-time Optimist member and past director of the Friendly House. Applicants are high school graduates with continuing academic pursuits. Promise Awards Two students from each Davenport public high school are recognized by school staff each year for living a lifestyle consistent with the principles in our Optimist creed, regardless of academic performance. |
