Overview

Mission

The Organization's mission is to arrange and provide NO COST transportation of World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials.

What it reported doing in 2025

Honor Flight of the Quad Cities (HFQC) provides no-cost flights for all veterans who served prior to and including 1990, to visit memorials in Washington, D.C. This experience honors their service and sacrifices while allowing them to reflect on the tributes built in their honor. Each flight includes volunteer guardians who assist veterans throughout the trip. HFQC remains committed to continuing these flights as long as funding allows, ensuring veterans receive the recognition they deserve.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
