The Foundation facilitates two grant cycles each year. All grant applications undergo a structured, committee-led review process to ensure transparency, alignment with donor intent, and effective use of resources. See our Sample Grant Application here.
Community Grant Funding
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, Cole Family Music Fund, Marshfield History Project Fund, Tauschek Fund, and Women’s Giving Circle Fund—as well as a discretionary allocation from the board-managed Forever Fund. Additionally, donor-advised contributions may 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.
