Overview

The Marian Foundation

_Providing Hope and Support for Our Neighbors In Need_

The Marian Foundation is a charitable trust which was established with the purpose of aiding and supporting area service organizations for educational, scientific, religious, and charitable programs through grants funded by 100% tax deductible contributions.

With the help of Mary, the Mother of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, We vow to financially support charitable causes for the benefit of those in need.

About Us

The Marian Foundation was formed in 1954 by Reverend Raymond Bauschard, founder and initial pastor of Saint Mary Magdalene Catholic Church in Columbus, Ohio. The Marian Foundation was founded with seven board members and is currently administered by a board of trustees consisting of no fewer than 13 members.

Father Bauschard's idea, which proved to be the catalyst for the foundation, was to target smaller qualified groups and special causes which would have a difficult time gaining financial support elsewhere.

As a result of his vision, and through the generosity of Central Ohio donors, many poor, sick, homeless people, women with problem pregnancies, school children, food pantries, and a host of others have benefited from grants provided by the Marian Foundation.
