Empowering the Marianas, One Connection at a Time
About Marianas Community Foundation (MCF)
Bridging Global Resources, Building Local Action
The Marianas Community Foundation (MCF) is a nonprofit corporation with a mission to empower families and strengthen the future of the Marianas. We connect global resources with local action, supporting the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) in building a resilient economy, an educated workforce, and thriving communities that can sustain themselves for generations to come. Our vision is to establish MCF as the trusted hub for collaboration, partnership, and progress, connecting the CNMI’s people, businesses, and leaders with resources and opportunities worldwide.
MCF was founded by a team of CNMI changemakers who share a bold mission: to transform how the Marianas connects with its global community. We unite public, private, and nonprofit sectors under one collaborative platform, serving as the go-to hub for partnerships, innovation, and investment. Our goal is to ensure that every effort contributes to a stronger, more self-reliant CNMI.
