Mission of the Marion County Community Foundation:

The Marion County Community Foundation is an organization based in Marion County, Iowa, with the goal of coordinating and providing philanthropic support for community betterment projects

Marion County Disaster Recovery Fund

On behalf of our county, the Marion County Community Foundation has established the Disaster Recovery Fund (DRF) to support our most negatively impacted populations as they face the effects of COVID-19. The DRF provides an opportunity for the public to give with the reassurance their donations will be used to quickly move resources to where they are most needed and to adapt to evolving needs. The flexibility of the fund will ensure that the community will be able to respond to needs that are not being met by existing non-profit, local, state and federal programs.
