GIVE ONLINE

through your Bank’s Bill Pay

Many banks offer a free online bill pay service you can use to send contributions directly from your bank account. This is a highly efficient and secure way to give, as your bank handles the transaction directly, minimizing fees for you and the Foundation.

To give through online Bill Pay:

Log in to your bank’s online service
Navigate to the “Bill Pay” or “Payments” section
Add MARION COMMUNITY FOUNDATION as a new payee.
Payee Name: Marion Community Foundation
Payee Address: 504 S. State St., Marion OH 43302
Account Number: Use the name of the fund you wish to give to for identification purposes
Enter the amount you wish to donate and schedule your payment.

This method ensures that 100% of the donation amount reaches the Foundation, maximizing your impact.

GIVE ONLINE

with a credit card

We accept credit card donations for your convenience. The Foundation is charged a processing fee for each credit card transaction. To ensure the full value of your gift impacts our charitable organizations, we have implemented a 5% fee on all credit card transactions. This will ensure your intended donation amount goes where you want it – benefiting our community. If you prefer not to pay this fee, please make your donation through your bank’s bill pay or with a check. Thank you for understanding.

If a credit card is your preferred method, you can make a secure online donation here:

Not Sure Where to Give?

If you want to support the overall work of Marion Community Foundation, we have a couple of giving options:

Community’s Memorial Scholarship Fund | The Community’s Memorial Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to graduates and seniors from any Marion County high school who rank in the upper 50 percent of their class. It is a way for donors to make memorial contributions and recognize someone who does not have their own named fund at the Foundation.

Forever Remembered Fund | This unrestricted fund awards grants to address current & pressing needs of the Marion community. Grants are awarded to nonprofits and charities in the Marion, Ohio, area.
