our marin community
It’s the county we live in and love, spectacular in so many ways. But not everyone in Marin is thriving. It’s our responsibility to use our privileged position to help us all feel more connected as a community.
Spread the Joy
We're making it easy to spread the love this holiday season! The Joy Fund supports 22 carefully selected nonprofits that are doing something extra special to care for our Marin neighbors this year. Show your generosity!
initiatives that champion equity
Research among nonprofit partners, donors, and Marin residents identified two escalating crises in our community as the most urgent — and where MCF will focus its energy: Climate Justice and Affordable Housing & Homelessness.
We're also hoping to reduce the administrative burden of Marin's hardworking nonprofits with our new Community Power Initiative.
Research & Perspectives
In four decades of partnering with community and donors, we've collectively achieved a lot. And learned a lot along the way. Sharing those learnings, along with some well-informed perspectives, can help solve the problems that persist.
