Welcome!
Since 1993, area residents have been turning to the Marshfield Area Community Foundation to make their philanthropic giving as effective as possible. We are a public charity serving thousands of people who share a common concern—improving the quality of life in Marshfield and surrounding communities. Please see the About Us pages for more information.
Besides the many designated funds that benefit specific charitable causes identified by our donors, we also have a Community Grants Fund that provides support to local nonprofit organizations and community groups involved in education, recreational, arts and culture, conservation, community development, and other charitable or benevolent purposes. We are now accepting grant applications. For more information please go to our Grants and Scholarships page by clicking here.

The Marshfield Area Community Foundation, The Marshfield Area United Way, the City of Marshfield, and The Marshfield Clinic Center for Community Outreach have exciting new and updated data to report! We have collaborated to provide the community with VITAL SIGNS : Communicating the Economic and Social Health of the Marshfield Area Community. This report provides a snapshot of key economic and social indicators over the last ten years. Our hope is that this data will be utilized by organizations and decision makers for the betterment of our community. Please click here or on the cover to download a copy of the report. (Please be patient- this may take a minute or two to download)

The annual Scholarship Bulletin is distributed as an insert in The Buyers' Guide during the month of February. The Bulletin lists not only the 39 scholarships offered through MACF, it also includes scholarships offered by other foundations, businesses, organizations, families, and individuals to graduates of 10 area school districts. Several scholarships are available for “non-traditional” students as well. You may browse this bulletin to prepare for your scholarship search next year.
