All of us feel a sense of responsibility to the community in which we live. Sometimes we’re unsure of how we can help and perhaps look to others with more financial means to take the lead. The Marietta Community Foundation makes it easy for everyone to participate.

The Marietta Community Foundation can help you to maximize the effect of your giving. Make a gift of cash, life insurance or appreciated securities. Open a fund or establish a scholarship fund in memory of a loved one or simply make a bequest to the Marietta Community Foundation in your will. You can even use many of the planned gift techniques now available to generous families.
