PLYMOUTH — The Marshall County Community Foundation will hold a press conference on Wednesday, April 16, at 4 p.m. to announce the recipients for the Spring 2025 MCCF Community Fund Grant Round.
Unrestricted (community) fund endowments are the most flexible and responsive of the Foundation’s funds in addressing current and emerging needs.
Grants from unrestricted endowment funds typically support projects focusing on the arts, education, health and human services, recreation, and the environment. The first grants from the MCCF Community Fund were awarded in 1995; since then MCCF has awarded nearly $5.5 million in total grants to the community from unrestricted funds alone.
In addition to the MCCF Community Fund, there are also a few named unrestricted funds that support emerging needs in Marshall County. These funds include the Alan and Barbara Neidlinger Community Fund, the Barbara and Ralph Winters Community Fund, the Billy and Vickie Ellinger Community Fund, the Brian and Patricia Kitch Family Community Fund, the C & M Overmyer Unrestricted Endowment Fund, the Constance K. Danforth Community Fund, the Earl and Susie (Lemler) Houin Community Fund, the Eleanor & Randy Danielson Community Aesthetic Improvement Fund, the First Merchants Bank Community Fund, the Gibson Community Fund, the Janet Newberg Community Fund, the John and Kay Finlay Community Fund, the Philip and Sylvia Bieghler Community Fund, the Paul and Carol Nye Community Fund, and the Will and June Erwin Community Fund.
