Society of Founders Fund

As members of ECCF’s Society of Founders, Marv Market and his wife Sandy played an instrumental role in helping ECCF open its doors. Marv was also on ECCF’s founding Board of Trustees and served on its Investment Committee. His service has helped ECCF distribute millions of dollars in grants to local nonprofits since its creation.

Although Marv recently passed away, his legacy of generosity will live on. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made in his memory to the “Society of Founders Fund” at ECCF. Click here to read Marv’s obituary.

The Society of Founders Fund was established in 1997 by 64 individuals and businesses to start the Eau Claire Community Foundation. The Fund is used by ECCF’s Grants Committee to address the most pressing current needs of the community.
