As the Mary Washington Centennial Foundation (MWC Foundation), it is our mission this year to provide financial support to organizations based in the Fredericksburg region currently offering services or programs that build character, educate, or help to improve future generations in the community. Special consideration may be paid to programs geared towards youth and/or after school activities. The region is defined as the City of Fredericksburg, as well as the counties of Spotsylvania, Orange, Culpeper, King George, Stafford, Caroline, the Northern Neck region, and the Middle Peninsula.
