The Wausau & Marathon County Parks & Recreation Foundation Grants, established within the Community Foundation of North Central Wisconsin in 1990, aim to secure and broaden resources for parks and recreational activities in Wausau and Marathon County. Nonprofit organizations serving the greater Wausau area and Marathon County, Wisconsin, can apply if they seek to improve local recreational resources and activities. Applications are reviewed bi-monthly by the Parks Foundation board of directors. Grant amounts typically range from $500 to $5,000, with deadlines on the first business day of February, April, June, August, October, and December.
