About Us

Mission Statement
The Hubbell-Waterman Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life for the citizens of the Quad Cities by financially supporting areas of need in culture and the arts, education and social welfare.
We define Quad Cities as the geographic area comprising Scott County, Iowa and Rock Island County, Illinois.
Vision Statement
Trustees of The Hubbell-Waterman Foundation have learned from our family members who have gone before us the rich rewards of philanthropy. We envision that the financial resources of the Foundation follow individual family members' efforts past and present to create educational opportunities for our youth, improve the quality of life for the citizens of our community, and encourage the construction and remodeling of the facilities that support our Mission Statement.
