The Vern and Loma Wegerer Family Charitable Foundation makes a small number of relatively large, local grants focused primarily on Catholic parishes and schools and on a prominent local senior-care provider. Most grants are general-purpose gifts to faith-based institutions in the Moline/Quad Cities area, indicating a preference for supporting local religious life and community services rather than broad national causes.
Concentrated, local giving: few grants each year with substantial amounts, repeat support to the same organizations (two grantees received multiple grants), and a narrow geographic and institutional focus on faith-based community institutions.
