The Gamaliel Foundation works primarily with congregation-centered community organizations, according to its Web site. These organizations have become powerful forces for change in poor and working class communities. They also work with religious leaders to strengthen congregations.

The foundation provides intensive staff and leadership development programs. The organizations within the network frequently combine to work on national issues affecting housing, transportation and urban sprawl.

Cost for the Quad-City training is $5, which includes lunch and materials.  Reservations may be made through Quad City Interfaith at (563) 322-4910 or qcinterfaith@gmail.com.
