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: Habitat for Humanity
Your generosity helps families build lasting stability and a stronger future through home ownership
For many working families, a safe and stable place to live has not always come with the opportunity to build something lasting. Even with steady employment, careful planning, and commitment to creating a better future, the path to homeownership can remain difficult to reach.
Through Habitat for Humanity, families are not simply receiving the keys to a house. They are opening a door to greater stability, new possibilities, and a foundation that can continue to benefit their children for years to come.
A grant from the Women in Philanthropy fund helped contribute to life change through home ownership for a local single mother and her two children.
