The Murco Foundation board of directors reviews grant applications on an annual basis. Applications are considered from nonprofit organizations serving the greater Wausau area and Marathon County, Wisconsin. The focus of their funding is the advancement of education and the arts in the community. Grants generally range from $1,000 to $5,000, though larger requests, such as those for capital campaigns, may be considered as multi-year grants. The application deadline is the first business day of September, and applicants will be notified within 45 days of the application deadline.
