Marshall Community Foundation
The Marshall Community Foundation was established to enrich the quality of life for community members by connecting the resources of today with the dreams for tomorrow. Organized under the umbrella of Southwest Initiative Foundation, the community foundation is a vehicle for making charitable contributions for the benefit of the community through a permanent endowment fund that enables people to give back and fulfill the dreams for tomorrow. A local advisory board provides oversight and directs how funds will be used for the exclusive benefit of the Marshall area.
