As a friend and supporter of the Foundation, we want to share some exciting news! On May 25, 2022, the Mequon Community Foundation is changing its name to the Mequon-Thiensville Community Foundation. Our website address will change from mtcfgives.org to mtcfgives.org and the email will change to info@mtcfgives.org – but our address, phone number, and core mission will remain the same.
This change is a natural evolution for our 22-year-old foundation and makes sense for several reasons:
- The majority of our grants benefit residents of both communities. Examples include the Historical Society, the Frank L. Weyenberg Library, the Mequon Nature Preserve, River Barn Park, the Jonathan Clark House, and other parks and recreational areas.
- Adding residents of Thiensville to our Board and committees will help us make more informed, more collaborative decisions to enhance the quality of life in both communities.
- The change reinforces and furthers the collaboration and camaraderie between Mequon and Thiensville, as most recently evidenced by the Gateway entrance sign to the town center of Mequon-Thiensville.
If you have any questions, our board would love to speak with you. Feel free to contact any of our board members listed below. We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
