As an integrated health system, Marshfield Clinic Health System brings together clinical care, research and education to provide excellent, comprehensive care to rural communities across northern, central and western Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Marshfield Clinic Health System Inc pairs its health system role with community investment grants that often land in the same places it serves. In the recent grants list, the largest award was $100,500 to Marshfield Area United Way for general support, followed by $100,000 to Rice Lake Aquatics and Recreational Center and $80,000 to Marshfield Area United Way in a later year. That pattern points to a funder that supports local institutions with flexible funding rather than narrow project-only awards. The portfolio also shows repeated support for organizations tied to community health and wellbeing across Wisconsin, including schools, United Ways, recreation, transit, and food access. Some grants are aligned with the health system’s own mission-adjacent work, but many are broad operating grants to civic organizations in places such as Marshfield, Wausau, Rice Lake, and Rhinelander. Grant sizes in the recent file cluster around a modest local-giving range, while the organization’s active programs include resident research, fellowship training, and a community investment funding stream that accepts new requests in 2025.
Community health is one of the clearest themes in the recent grants. Marshfield Clinic Health System Inc gave $11,000 to Marathon County Health Dept and $10,650 to Oneida County Health Dept, both as general support for public-facing health work. It also awarded $10,000 to Rhinelander Area Food Pantry, linking local food access to broader health and wellness goals. The foundation also funds civic infrastructure that supports daily life in rural Wisconsin communities. Examples include $20,000 to Vilas County Economic Development Corp, $15,000 to Town of Boulder Junction, and $10,000 to Rusk County Transit Commission, all listed as general support. In addition, its grant record includes support for youth and family-serving organizations such as $25,000 to Marshfield Area YMCA and $10,000 to Boys & Girls Club of the Wausau Area.
Typical recent grant sizes are tightly grouped: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $14,000. The file also shows a few larger outliers above that range, including awards at $80,000 and $100,500. This looks like recurring local grantmaking rather than one-time support. Marshfield Area United Way, Marshfield Area YMCA, United Way of Marathon County, and United Way of Greater Chippewa Valley each appear more than once across the recent grants list. The organization is a Public Charity, funds individuals is false, and its active community investment program accepts unsolicited requests in 2025.

The grant record is overwhelmingly Wisconsin-focused: 96% of grants go to recipients in WI, and the country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Recent awards are spread across Marshfield, Wausau, Rice Lake, Rhinelander, Eau Claire, Eagle River, Boulder Junction, and Ladysmith. Marshfield appears repeatedly in the recipient list, alongside north-central and northwestern Wisconsin communities. A small number of grants also reach nearby service-area places such as Cable, Durand, and Stevens Point.
Recent grants cluster at a $10,000 median, with the 25th percentile also at $10,000 and the 75th percentile at $14,000. The list includes a few larger awards, but most of the recent grants sit near that $10,000 mark.
No. Several recipients appear more than once in the recent grants list, including Marshfield Area United Way, Marshfield Area YMCA, United Way of Marathon County, and United Way of Greater Chippewa Valley. That pattern suggests repeated support for some organizations.
The recent grants include United Ways, health departments, a food pantry, a transit commission, an economic development corporation, a YMCA, a Boys & Girls Club, and a community foundation. The active programs also point to community health, research, and medical education.
Yes, for the Caring for Communities (Community Investment Funding) program. The program description says it is accepting new requests in 2025. Other active programs, including Resident Research Program and Clinical Fellowship Programs, do not accept unsolicited requests.
