The Service Foundation is dedicated to promoting, deepening, and strengthening a culture of service. In concert with the recommendations of the 2020 National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service, the Marsh Creek Social Works Service Foundation shares the vision that by 2031, 5 million Americans will begin participating in military, national, or public service each year.

We agree with the Commission that “enhancing the country’s culture of service holds the promise of invigorating civic life in America and strengthening the foundations of the Republic.”

“That’s when America soars, when we look out for one another and we take care of each other, when we root for one another’s success, when we strive to do better and to be better than the generation that came before us and try to build something better for generations to come, that’s why we do what we do. That’s the whole point of public service.” —Barack Obama

The Service Foundation makes grants to eligible and qualifying 501(c)3 organizations that are working within these service pillars. Our Fall 2022 funding round opens from 1 October through 30 October. Details and applications will be found here.

“Expanding national service opportunities for young Americans strengthens our communities, broadens the worldview of our next generation of American leaders, and instills in our young men and women a sense of pride in themselves and their country that can only be gained through giving back.” —Senator Jack Reed, Rhode Island

Marsh Creek Social Works is extremely proud to partner with Amalgamated Foundation as our fund sponsor for the Service Foundation.
