Welcome,
from the president

Our impact on Madison County since 1992 has been remarkable; a legacy full of countless stories of community members helping one another through the foundation's stewardship of their resources.

We believe that there is a philanthropist in all of us and your partnership is needed as we embrace new opportunities and meet emerging needs. Whether you are interested in establishing a fund, contributing to an existing fund, naming the Foundation as an estate beneficiary, or advancing local philanthropy in some other way, we have a place for you and your perspectives.

Thank you for believing in Madison County, and in your Madison County Community Foundation.

Agency Spotlight
The Well

Your generosity is making room for refuge, restoration, and new beginnings

For too many women and children in Madison County, crisis comes with impossible choices. This choice sometimes includes staying in unsafe situations or face life without shelter, stability, or support. In those moments, the absence of a safe place can shape the trajectory of an entire family. But because of you, that story is changing. At The Well, a ministry of the Christian Center, women and children are finding more than a roof over their heads. They are discovering safety, dignity, and a community that believes in their future.‍ ‍[read more]
