Description
The Wausau Marathon County Impact Grants program, administered by the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin, supports projects and programs that benefit the greater Wausau area and communities throughout Marathon County. The foundation connects funding from various funds with innovative nonprofit ideas addressing local needs, prioritizing work that enhances quality of life and makes a long-term, tangible difference.
The program also supports capacity-building resources that help organizations reach a higher level of service. This approach combines investment in community projects with support for the organizations carrying them out. Across both kinds of work, the focus is on directing resources toward projects and programs that can most effectively meet a specific community need or strengthen an organization’s ability to serve its community.
