Each year, the Mequon-Thiensville Community Foundation identifies important community projects and equipment needs that might otherwise go unfunded—and connects generous donors with meaningful opportunities to make an immediate impact.
Since expanding our mission in 2022 to include the Village of Thiensville, the MTCF Wish List has grown to feature exciting new initiatives like the fossil dig, splash pad, and pickleball courts at Thiensville Village Park.
Help make a difference in our community by supporting one of these items. Please list the specific item you’d like to fund in the comments section when making your donation.
