Welcome, from the president
Since 1992, we have had the privilege of partnering with generous individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofit organizations to invest in the future of Madison County. Together, we have helped create a legacy of opportunity, compassion, and lasting impact, one that continues to grow with every act of generosity.
At the Madison County Community Foundation, we believe philanthropy is about more than giving. It is about investing in the people, places, and possibilities that make our community stronger for generations to come. Whether you are establishing a fund, supporting an existing one, planning a legacy gift, or simply exploring ways to make a difference, there is a place for you here.
As we look toward the future, we are inspired by the momentum building across Madison County. Through initiatives like Madison Forever and the generosity of our community, we are creating new opportunities to strengthen nonprofits, respond to emerging needs, and ensure every person has the opportunity to thrive.
Thank you for believing in Madison County and for considering how your generosity can help shape its future. We are honored to partner with you as we invest in lasting positive change to elevate and strengthen our community.
Ben Davis, President

Agency Spotlight: Frankton Heritage Days
Your generosity helps communities like Frankton preserve the traditions that connect generations while creating opportunities to serve, partner, and give back.
For a small community, traditions have a way of becoming more than dates on a calendar. They become the places where neighbors reconnect, families make memories, and a community celebrates the history and character that make it feel like home.
Frankton Heritage Days brings generations together to experience that sense of connection. Honoring the community’s past while creating new memories and traditions that will carry forward. It is a celebration of local pride, shared history, and the people who continue to invest their time and energy into keeping Frankton connected.
A grant from the Madison County Community Foundation has contributed to a community tradition that continues to bring people together and the story of Frankton continues to be celebrated, shared, and passed on.
