The mission of Madison Community Foundation (MCF) is to engage Greater Madison in philanthropy to advance a more vibrant and equitable community. MCF is a nationally accredited community foundation and a trusted philanthropic leader – we collaborate with donors to connect them to the causes they care about most and work with nonprofits to build endowments and utilize grant funding in effective, efficient, and equitable ways. What makes MCF strong is our team – we know our donors and we know our community. Our commitment to both, for over 80 years, has earned us their trust. Madison is frequently named one of the best places to live in the country. And while we are all proud of that recognition, we know there is still work to do to foster a community where fairness, inclusion and respect thrive.
OUR TEAM
We are a dynamic team of sixteen people who share a commitment to our mission. We come from different backgrounds and bring different lived experiences to the table. Some people have worked here 20 years. Others are new to the team. Everyone’s voice is valued.
Our office is in beautiful downtown Madison, Wisconsin, conveniently located off the state capitol square and surrounded by restaurants, shops and businesses of all kinds. Whether just the daily hustle and bustle, the free Lunchtime Live music series, Art Fair on the Square or the largest producers-only Farmers’ Market in the country, there is always something going on downtown. When you are part of the MCF team, you are in the middle of what makes Madison … Madison.
