Steve & Mary Ann Jenkins Funds

Steve and Mary Ann Jenkins have built a life of purpose and generosity in Marion. Steve owned a thriving drugstore and commercial rental business, while Mary Ann enjoyed a rewarding career in health technologies at Marion General Hospital and Marion Technical College. Their three children, all River Valley graduates, have gone on to successful careers of their own.

Giving back has always been central to the Jenkins family. Inspired by generous relatives and fellow community donors, they chose Marion Community Foundation to help manage and grow their charitable giving. With confidence in the Foundation’s guidance, the Jenkins Funds favor causes such as First Presbyterian Church, the Salvation Army, health technology education, nature and outdoor causes, and animal welfare.

“We just want to give back to the community that has been so good to us,” they said of the two donor advised funds they established in 2025, the Steve & Mary Ann Jenkins Fund and Steve & Mary Ann Jenkins Family Fund.
