Support the Quad City Sailing School
Since 1962, volunteers have been the backbone of sailing education on the Mississippi. Your time and generosity keep our US Sailing–accredited program accessible to sailors of every age and background in the Quad Cities.
The Quad City Sailing School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — all donations are tax-deductible.
How Your Donation Helps
Every dollar goes directly toward keeping our boats in the water and our students on the river.
Fleet Maintenance
Our fleet of training boats needs ongoing care — hull repairs, rigging replacements, and safety equipment upgrades to keep every vessel seaworthy.
Facilities & Equipment
From life jackets and safety gear to clubhouse upkeep, your support keeps our waterfront ready for students, instructors, and race committee alike.
Volunteer With Us
Not all contributions come with a dollar sign. We’re always looking for people willing to lend a hand.
Work Parties
Help with seasonal boat prep, dock repairs, grounds maintenance, and getting the waterfront ready for the sailing season.
Sailing Instructors
Experienced sailors can volunteer as instructors or teaching assistants for our First Sail, Small Boat, and Keelboat courses.
Race Committee
Help run races by crewing the committee boats, managing signals and marks, or assisting with scoring on race days.
