In July, the sculpture of Velvalea "Vel" Phillips was unveiled at the Wisconsin State Capitol Grounds. The sculpture is the first of an African American placed at the Capitol and the first of an African American woman outside of a capitol building in the United States.
MCF’s grantmaking focuses on investing in projects that will help the Madison community thrive. Past grant recipients Madison Reading Project, the Harry Whitehorse International Wood Sculpture Festival and Centro Hispano are three that have seen success.
When donors make gifts or establish funds with MCF, they trust that those gifts or funds will be used for their intended purposes. Upholding this trust and honoring donor intent is central to MCF’s values and mission.
MCF is tapping into the vast knowledge of community members and other community foundations as we take steps towards opening the Goodman Nonprofit Center in 2025.

When it comes to maximizing the impact of your giving, you don't have to choose between giving during your lifetime or through your will or estate plan. MCF can help you combine the joy of giving today with the satisfaction of leaving a legacy.
