Small Business Assistance Program
Is your business still recovering from the Pandemic or need help retaining or growing your business? We’re happy to share, Rock Island’s Community and Economic Development Department is accepting applications for $1.25 million in PEP and GRIT funding! The GRIT Program provides a low-interest loan, with a portion that is forgivable, up to $50,000 per project!

Our annual Divots Fore DARI Golf Outing
Our annual Divots Fore DARI Golf Outing is coming up next month! Please join us on August 25th at Highland Springs Golf Course in Rock Island for a day full of friends, fun, and sun on the golf course! The cost for this event is $150 per person. As always, proceeds stay right here in Rock Island. We have used this tournament to fund NPC-11, college scholarships, community restoration projects, grants, and this year will continue supporting these causes in our community.
