What makes these grants possible?
For decades, local nonprofits have received grants from the Wausau Marathon County Fund to help bring their visions for a brighter community to life. How does this happen? It’s easiest to understand by give, grow, grant.
GIVE
No matter the amount, we celebrate all gifts to the Wausau Marathon County Fund because together, they generate more grantmaking resources. It is through the generosity of all donors that we can help meet the needs of the community, not only today, but also for generations to come.
GROW
Donors want their generosity to make a lasting impact, which can be accomplished by giving to the Wausau Marathon County Fund. As an endowment, each donation is pooled with other donations and invested for growth. This allows each gift to live forever as grants are awarded from the fund’s earnings. The Wausau Marathon County Fund allows the Community Foundation the greatest potential for long-term impact in our community.
GRANT
Grants from the Wausau Marathon County Impact Funds support the community’s changing needs. Our Distributions Committee reviews grant applications and makes grant recommendations to our Board of Directors, ensuring donor-funded resources go to worthy causes and ideas.
