Marlborough Regional Community Foundation

The Marlborough Regional Community Foundation, Inc., was established by the Chamber's Board of Directors in 1998. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, it is legally empowered to collect tax-exempt contributions and disburse the funds in support of non-profit community activities. Officers and directors of the Foundation are drawn from the membership of the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The Foundation is a community resource for business and civic organizations in the areas of fundraising, education, and business and economic development.

Today, the Foundation:

• Awards scholarships annually to selected students from area high schools who intend to continue their education in business or business-related fields. more info...
• Acts as fiduciary agent for non-profit civic groups that are not currently tax exempt such as neighborhood associations.

• Increase its high school scholarship program.

• Help match interested business people with non-profits who need qualified directors.
• Offer scholarships to business people to attend courses that will increase their expertise and improve the quality of their businesses.
