Warning: Giving Will Cause Happiness
The Middletown Community Foundation makes it easy to give back to the communities you love — whether through a one-time gift, a named fund, or a planned legacy. Every dollar stays local and creates lasting impact.
Why Give Through MCF?
When you give through the Middletown Community Foundation, your generosity is amplified. MCF pools donor resources, applies deep local knowledge, and directs funding where it will do the most good — supporting scholarships, grants, youth philanthropy, and community programs across the greater Middletown area.
We are a 501(c)(3) public charity, so your gifts are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. More importantly, every gift you make through MCF stays in our community — invested in the neighbors, organizations, and causes that make the communities we serve home.
You can pay back only seldom. But you can always pay forward...— Ralph Waldo Emerson
