Empowering faith. Enriching lives.

In 2001, John and Mari Ann Martin established the Martin Family Foundation in an effort to give back to the communities in which they and their family live. A private foundation dedicated to the teachings and love of Jesus Christ, the foundation supports 501c(3) organizations that align with their four giving pillars.

The Foundation supports organizations who serve one or more of the four pillars as well as organizations who:

Support our mission
