WIU total giving

The Western Illinois University (WIU) Foundation has notified the Rauch Family Foundation II of our status as an Honors Level donor to the university's Foundation Fellows Society. This level honors donors who have contributed a minimum of $50,000 to WIU.

For several years the Ruch Family Foundation II has been a generous donor to the Jeff Lebovitz Holocaust Education Memorial collection at WIU-Quad Cities and to WQPT Public ct3elevision in support of Holocaust educational programming. 

I wanted to share with you what a significant difference Rauch Family Foundation II has made in awarding grants that help the Foundation fulfill its mission.

Your help is ensuring we can provide our 400+ partner pantries with the supplies they need to help the children and adults they serve. Because of you, when a family faces a crisis, they’re able to count on River Bend Food Bank and our hunger-relief partners to keep food on the table. Together, we’re building hunger-free communities.
