Key takeaways
- The foundation supports a wide variety of charities and community work, and its stated scholarship themes suit projects in higher learning.
- It says it tries whenever possible to direct aid to Marathon Cheese employees, so a request that shows how it serves them will fit most closely.

- Submit by email as one scanned PDF containing all parts, or by mail or delivery, before the April 1st or October 1st deadline.
- The filing does not say how large its grants usually are, so ask the foundation for guidance before setting a request amount.
