Nonprofit Integral to Community Development
The nonprofit Marshfield Area Community Foundation has helped in the formation of many facilities in the area, including one many use on a weekly basis.
The organization is proud to have had a part in the formation of the new Everett Roehl Marshfield Public Library building. As fiscal agent for the library project, MACF accepted donations, pledges, and gifts from a total of 515 generous people in the community, and sent thank-you notes and pledge reminders. MACF also organized the payment schedules and time frames for 159 pledges ranging from $156 to $1.5M, and continues to work with pledges as they become fulfilled.
The beautiful new library building is finished and standing today, the result of a successful collaboration between public and private funding. The donations brought to fruition an ambitious idea, that had been in the works for years, into a real place that meets Marshfield’s needs for educational, social, personal, and community development, and will continue to provide a valuable resource for generations to come.
The library, the largest project MACF had ever undertaken, is another addition to its long list of contributions to the community, which include the Adler Kodiak Bear Exhibit at the Wildwood Zoo, Hackman Field, the Youth Baseball fields, Weber Park, Hamus Park, Hardacre Park, Brehm Park Disk Golf, the Skate Park, Boson Tennis Complex, Tiny Tiger Intergenerational Center, the ACE Academy, Griese Park, and many, many more.
A tax exempt, non-profit organization, MACF uses public support to better connect those with a cause in mind to its completion while taking care of administrative tasks, and continues to establish permanent, named funds for public benefit.
