Marshall County Community FoundationThe Marshall County Community Foundation is accepting applications for the first of two Community Fund grant rounds in 2015. This endowment fund award allows grants twice a year to nonprofit organizations for support in the arts, education, health and human services, recreation and the environment throughout Marshall County.

MCCF is also accepting grant proposals for the Ralph C. Vonnegut Jr. Fund. Proposals are accepted once a year for this endowment fund that supports environmental, educational, or recreational projects directly related to Lake Maxinkuckee in Culver.
