The Quad City Conservation Alliance was founded in 1984 as a not for profit conservation alliance by 5 local conservation clubs. The QCCA owns and operates the QCCA Expo Center.  Monies raised through the Expo Center are directed to conservation activities in a 90 mile radius of the Quad Cities.

The concept of the Quad City Conservation Alliance is to provide a mechanism for achieving the aims of protecting, preserving, and enhancing the natural resources and the quality of life in the Quad City area through joint action. Over $1, 200,000 has been invested in the Quad Cities for conservation activities since 1984 through the efforts of the QCCA.
