The Marion Family Foundation is a family foundation established by Dennis and Barbara Marion. The foundation supports nonprofit organizations whose work strengthens communities and improves quality of life.
The foundation supports a wide range of organizations working in areas such as youth and family services, healthcare, education, and the arts. It is particularly interested in projects and programs that demonstrate strong local impact and create meaningful, lasting change within the communities they serve. Grantmaking is guided by a commitment to thoughtful, responsive philanthropy and to supporting organizations whose work aligns with the foundation’s values.

Barbara Marion devoted her life to serving others and was guided by kindness, curiosity, and a deep commitment to giving back. The Marion Family Foundation honors her legacy by supporting nonprofit organizations that strengthen communities and create meaningful, lasting change in the places and causes that mattered deeply to her and to Dennis.
