This planet can only prosper when we all prosper. We need to disrupt the status quo that has created a world that works for some, but not all. But we can’t do it alone.
Join us. Get involved. Let's shake things up.

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.
What is MCF? Press play & see!
Understanding who we are and what we do shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why we created a video series to explain it all—a set of six short, engaging videos that break down who we are, what we offer, and how we make an impact. Each video is under 90 seconds, giving you a quick and easy way to learn about MCF, donor-advised funds, and more. Hopefully, they'll spur some conversations with us!
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: Infrastructure Resilience (coming soon) 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.
