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.

Yet with the right support and a community willing to walk alongside them, real change becomes possible.
In 2024, the Madison County Community Foundation awarded four $25,000 SPARK Grants to help launch and strengthen promising initiatives across the county. One of those grants supported Firefly Children & Family Alliance and its work to pilot Family Recovery Court in Madison County.
