Madelia Community Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Evolved from the previous name “Madelia Strong, Inc.” the foundation was originally founded to locally administer financial assistance and relief to individuals and businesses affected by a fire that destroyed a large portion of main street Madelia on February 3rd, 2016.
Following the completion of providing assistance and relief for those affected by the fire, the foundation board made the decision to maintain the organization and change the name to Madelia Community Foundation, Inc. The foundation will provide on-going financial assistance to future projects or needs of the community.
A large thank you extends to Tom Osborne and the rest of the original board members for their vision in starting the foundation and their efforts to facilitate financial assistance after the 2016 main street fire.
