The MWCF is a publicly supported charitable organization initially organized in 1996 that is dedicated to supporting the mission of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD). While the MWCF is completely independent from the MWCD, with its own Board of Trustees, it has developed charitable funds that support improvements and programs on and around MWCD facilities.
Since 2004, the MWCF Board of Trustees has awarded nearly $280,000 for 52 projects in and around the Muskingum Watershed.
