EVENTS
Two momentous events occurred in Marshfield in the last couple of weeks.
Both of them involved the Marshfield Area Community Foundation. Both of them are fine examples of how the Foundation works with the community to enrich our quality of life.
On May 31, the city celebrated our latest recreational facility with a groundbreaking ceremony for the new tennis courts to the east of Marshfield High School. On June 15, we broke ground for the Tiny Tiger Intergenerational Center to the west of the High School. Both of these projects have been achieved entirely through private fund raising. Both of them demonstrate what can be done when individuals and small groups have a vision and the determination to pursue it. Both illustrate the generosity and commitment of this community when asked to support meaningful and worthwhile projects.
The Community Foundation facilitates and supports projects like this through what we call “Project Specific Funds.” 
Unlike our endowed funds which are intended to last forever, project specific funds have a final goal in mind, usually a capital building project, and the fund is terminated when the project is completed.
For more information about Project Specific Funds, see "Establishing a Fund" page.
