With the generous assistance of folks just like you, the Marietta Community Foundation will distribute over half a million dollars to local charities, and people in need by the end of this year.

The Foundation did grand things in 2003 – such as improving the Civitan Park in Belpre, supporting disaster services at the American Red Cross, creating a new room for the Matamoras Historical Society, and offering financial assistance for the survivors at EVE’s domestic abuse programs.

We also did simple things – such as offering basic assistance to our fellow citizens in need.

There is one simple fact we should all remember when making a charitable contribution to the Marietta Community Foundation:

You don’t just give to the Foundation, you give through the Foundation.
