The Marshfield Area Community Foundation has completed yet another record-breaking year in our Community Grants program.
Hub City Concert Series
Hospitality Kits for RMHC Families
Holiday Food Basket Gift Card Programs
The Foundation partially or fully funded 31 individual community projects, a near 20% increase from the previous year. This annual funding is made possible through a combination of permanently endowed funds—including the Senior Fund, Community Grants Fund, Children’s Future Fund, Palm Sunday Choral Fund, Mike Tauschek Fund, and Women’s Giving Circle Fund—as well as a discretionary allocation from the board-managed Forever Fund. All grant applications undergo a structured, committee-led review process to ensure transparency, alignment with donor intent, and effective use of resources. Qualified nonprofit organizations may apply for funding to support programs that directly enhance quality of life across the region.
Additionally, donor-advised contributions made supplement awards, allowing donors to respond to emerging local needs identified through the grant application process. This blended funding model ensures both sustainability and responsiveness in meeting diverse community priorities. As a result, the Marshfield Area Community Foundation was able to award over $135,000 in grants supporting a broad spectrum of community needs.
