The Mastate Charitable Foundation (MCF) was founded in September of 2004 to advance benevolent, educational and scientific efforts in impoverished, subtropical regions of the world. The MCF’s current project focus is in rural and wild areas in the country of Costa Rica, most notably in and around the small community of Mastatal and La Cangreja National Park. We promote opportunities in the areas of education, research, community development, natural building, sustainable living and conservation as they relate to the local environment.
Based out of Seattle, Washington, MCF is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and seeks to raise funds and apply for grants in order to further its objectives. The organization is run by a group of dedicated and experienced volunteer professionals with an intimate familiarity in rural Latin America and, in particular, Mastatal.
In October 2008, MCF became a Serendipity Project of the Marion Institute.
