2010 Marietta Community Foundation Annual Report

marIetta communIty FoundatIon 

Where Good IntentIons Become Great accomplIshments 

Community RepoRt 2011

ALTRUISM 

unselfish concern for the welfare of others 

How bright our world would be if every person 

learned a new word every day. Place yourself before 

the mise en scene of our Annual Report cover and 

we hope you can feel the energy of a young mind 

reciting a word for which only its meaning holds 

more power than the moment itself. 

At The Marietta Community Foundation (MCF) we 

have the pleasure of meeting and working with 

altruistic people daily. Being so close to this we’re 

reminded again and again that the giving is the 

reward. Give back, pay forward, chip in, do your 

part…are all pretty tired catchphrases that have 

become more of a turn off than a motivation. At 

Marietta Community Foundation (MCF) we exist to 

simplify the motivation to give…For good, forever. 

So if it’s all for good and it’s that easy, why is the 

dearth of gifts more telling than the need? It can’t 

be about money, because on any given day, one 

can give of their time, of their knowledge, prayers or 

well wishes. It seems implausible that this wouldn’t be 

a daily practice for everyone, but the demands and 

needs of our society come at us in so many directions 

that it’s sometimes easier to just turn it off. Remember, 

it’s your choice, at your time, in whichever way feels 

right to you. 

At MCF we hope that today someone learns not just 

the spelling of, but the meaning of A-L-T-R-U-I-S-M, 

and that they pass it along to someone else. Forever 

there will be another word to learn, and for good a 

desideratum to overcome. If today is your day, we 

can serve as the conduit to the reward.

noteS: 

mise en scene (mee-zan* SEN) — a French word meaning 

’The setting or background of an event’ was the word of 

the day at www.wordsmith.org at the time of this writing, 

so I couldn’t help myself. 

Dearth — ‘An inadequate supply; scarcity; lack’ was the 

word of the day at www.dictionary.com 

Implausible — ‘not plausible; causing disbelief’ was 

the word of the day at www.superkids.com which 

appropriately has a word of the day vocabulary builder 

for 4th to 6th grades. 

Desideratum —‘something desired,’ came from the handy 

Roget’s Thesaurus as a synonym for need.

VISION insight, foresight, inspiration, innovation 

the Foundation’s Vision 

By Mark Schwendeman, Chair 

Foundation visionaries Sue 

marsch and Bill thompson 

many, if not all, of you knew Bill thompson, our beloved friend, and significant supporter 

of the Marietta Community Foundation. Bill’s love for the City of Marietta and all of its 

attributes were part of his being. He had a vision for our community that would make 

Marietta the model for the essence of small town America. Bill’s career affiliation with 

Marietta College and his involvement in our community gave him the unique perspective 

to see what “can be” for Marietta. Bill had a “Vision.” 

I had the good fortune of spending a great deal of time with Bill. We shared the same 

vision. Marietta is truly a Gem and we have the opportunity to capitalize on all of its assets. We are so very fortunate 

to have all of the assets that this community possesses. With the natural beauty of our rolling hills, two rivers, the good 

fortune of having an interstate highway that touches our city’s border, a wonderful healthcare system, and two 

excellent higher educational institutions, not to mention a lifestyle that many would only dream of, we are extremely 

fortunate. Bill and I both agreed that we want to share that vision with not only our community, but with other people 

that would enjoy what Marietta and our surrounding area have to offer. 

The Foundation’s Board shares our vision. The Board believes that this vision for the future of Marietta is a fundamental 

part of the Marietta Community Foundation’s mission going forward. As a Community Foundation, we have the 

unique ability to act as a convener and a facilitator, bringing together groups and individuals to focus on the 

common goal of making Marietta the model “small town America.” 

It is hard to believe, however, through the generous support of many individuals and organizations our Community 

Foundation has grown to over $10 million in assets and has granted in excess of $11 million collectively to hundreds of 

organizations. This generosity truly indicates our community’s commitment to share in the future vision for our area. 

While the Foundation will not lose sight of our current responsibilities to support individuals and organizations that 

make such a difference in the lives of so many people, the Board truly believes we have the opportunity to create a 

path forward that will have a lasting impact on the economic opportunities and quality of life for the citizens of our 

area. 

To make this all happen the Vision committee was created. Individuals representing several key organizations within 

our Area convened and the Vision process began. The committee’s main goals are to raise the awareness of and 

interest in Marietta, Ohio as the ideal small community to live and to raise a family, or to retire in a comfortable and 

safe setting. Furthermore, Marietta and its surrounding area is an ideal place to locate a business, with excellent 

resources and hard-working people to serve as the employees. We truly have all the ingredients; we just need to 

communicate the message. 

To achieve the Foundation’s goals funding was necessary… 

In 2009, Sue Marsch, a longtime friend of Marietta, the Foundation and Bill 

Thompson, passed away. Many years ago, Ms. Marsch created an unrestricted 

fund in memory of her parents, the Karl D. and Anna Schultheis Marsch Fund, 

and to continue her family’s legacy, left an unrestricted gift to the Marietta 

Community Foundation. Those who knew Ms. Marsch, knew of her love for 

Marietta. The Foundation’s Board decided it would be fitting to have her gift 

support the work of Vision. 

So here we are today. Our Vision is ongoing, with the committee working 

diligently to develop the collateral to market our community. Videos, a Web 

site, and marketing plans are being developed to promote our assets and to 

attract potential citizens from outside of our area. We look forward to sharing 

our Vision with you, and to gain your support in helping the Foundation to 

achieve its mission. We want everyone to know the Gem that Marietta truly is!

FRIENDS OF THE FOUNDATION FUND 

good intentions become great accomplishments 

Starting with good intentions back in 1974, we 

continue to make our donors’ good intentions 

become great accomplishments. 

We work closely with our fund holders matching their 

desire to help, with the needs of the non-profits in our 

community. 

We work hard to be good stewards meeting rigorous 

standards for accountability through respected, 

objective evaluators including the national Council 

on Foundation. 

We gather information and track the many local 

agencies and programs working for our community. 

We act as a catalyst, bringing different groups 

together to address local issues. 

We build endowment funds that benefit the 

community forever and help create personal 

legacies. 

We foster the development of new organizations 

and programs, support high impact opportunities, 

and re-direct funds as community needs change. 

And we do all of this at no charge. 

We are among the 1% of Community Foundations 

across the country that do not charge fees. 

It’s a daunting task, but a worthy one. It would be 

easy to join the herd charging fees to help with 

administrative costs, but we believe the no fee policy 

is one of the nicer gifts we can give our donors. 

We are able to do this because of the kind, unrestricted 

gifts from Lillian Strecker Smith and others who realize 

their support of the Community Foundation allows us 

to continue to serve our community. 

We started with $500,000, we now have more than 

$12,000,000 in assets, and we have given more than 

$11,000,000 in grants. 

We’re here to make a difference in the lives of our 

neighbors not only today but 25 years from now. 

That’s the most important role we play. People give 

to us so we can give back. And when all is said and 

done, it’s that role that people will remember us most 

by — How have we made a difference? 

If you would like to support the Foundation’s work, 

we ask that you give to our Friends of the Foundation 

Fund. Your gifts will help the Foundation make our 

community a better place. 

To find out more, stop by our new office on the corner 

of Front and Putnam Streets, call us at 740-373-3286 or 

visit us online at www.mcfohio.org.
