The MARGUERITE M. WILSON FOUNDATION was established in 1953 in Cleveland by Rocky River resident Marguerite McCarter Wilson (d. 1989), a retired employee of the CLEVELAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The foundation has supported HOSPITALS AND HEALTH PLANNING and EDUCATION, primarily in Ohio.

HOSPITALS (UH) for UH's Clinical Genetic Center, and a total of $16,000 to PRIVATE SCHOOLS ($11,000 to HAWKEN SCHOOL and $5,000 to the Phillips-Osborne School in Painesville). In 1994 foundation offices were located in PEPPER PIKE; Carol Horner Donaldson served as president and treasurer.
