About Hubbell-Waterman Fndn C/O Lane & Waterman Llp
The Hubbell-Waterman Foundation concentrates its giving locally and exclusively to a single charitable event organization. All recorded grants (totaling $2.63M) were made to the Quad Cities Golf Classic Charitable for general operating support, indicating a preference for funding event-driven community philanthropy in the Quad Cities/Davenport area.

About Hubbell-Waterman Fndn C/O Lane & Waterman Llp
Hubbell-waterman Fndn C/o Lane & Waterman LLP gives through a narrow local lens, but with a mix of capital, operating, and program support across the Quad Cities. Its active programs include capital campaign and acquisition grants, general operating and operational support, and competitive annual grants in culture and the arts, education, and social welfare.

That same pattern shows up elsewhere in the portfolio: Putnam Museum and Sciences Center received $140,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025, while several other community organizations appear in multiple grant years.
The foundation also backs local institutions tied to civic life and service delivery, including YWCA of the Quad Cities, Two Rivers YMCA Inc, Vera French Community Mental Health Center, and Iowa Legal Aid. Its giving is built around nonprofit operating capacity and local community infrastructure rather than individual awards or program-related investments. Across the recent grant list, all grants went to U.S. recipients.
