Our Mission
At Uplifting Care Givers Association, our mission is to support and uplift healthcare caregivers, Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) by providing financial assistance and resources to meet their essential needs. We are dedicated to empowering those who work tirelessly to care for others by helping them overcome personal challenges such as car repairs, educational expenses, past-due bills, emergency situations, groceries, and childcare. Through community-driven fundraising and advocacy, we aim to create a safety net for the caregivers who are the backbone of the healthcare system, ensuring they can continue their vital work with peace of mind and stability.
UCA Uplifiting Care Givers Association was created by Quad Cities Service Providers, a dedicated organization that operates HCBS (Home and Community-Based Services) community homes for adults with disabilities and special needs in Davenport, Bettendorf, and Burlington, Iowa. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by healthcare professionals in the field, Quad Cities Service Providers established UCA to offer direct financial assistance to caregivers, Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) who work tirelessly to support vulnerable populations. This nonprofit was born out of the commitment to not only care for those with disabilities but also to uplift and support the dedicated professionals who make a difference in their lives every day.


Current Inititatives
As a newly established nonprofit, UCA Uplifiting Care Givers Association is currently in the fundraising stage to build the resources needed to support healthcare professionals in our community. We are working diligently to raise the necessary funds and anticipate being able to start accepting grant applications for financial assistance beginning in January 2025. To kick off our fundraising efforts, we completed a very large yard sale that was successful. We want to thank the community for the donations and for all those who came out to support us that day. This event made it possible for us to help several families this last Holiday season. We were able to provide meals and gifts. We are encouraging the community to continue support this important cause!
