About the Event

The Founders Luncheon is the Community Foundation’s signature annual event, rallying hundreds of donors, nonprofit partners, and community leaders around a key community issue each year.


Established in 2014 as the Founder’s Award Luncheon, the event was launched as an opportunity to convene our donors and nonprofit partners on important issues facing our region, and to celebrate their collective impact.

McIntosh Award

In addition to raising awareness, the Founders Luncheon showcases the importance of philanthropy with a special award ceremony. Each year, the McIntosh Award – named after Winsome and Michael McIntosh, who founded the Community Foundation in 1972 – is presented to an individual or organization who has made significant contributions to our community.

Marshall Field V

2026 McIntosh Award Recipient

Marshall Field V

Marshall Field V is a leading philanthropist and advocate for Martin County, deeply committed to supporting the region through his long-time volunteer service with the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties. A fifth-generation member of a family renowned for civic leadership, Field has focused his time and resources on advancing causes that align with his passions for conservation, education, health care, and the arts.


A Harvard graduate and former publisher of the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Daily News, Field has held leadership roles with nationally recognized institutions, including The Art Institute of Chicago, Rush University Medical Center, and The Field Museum. His philanthropic efforts have also included chairing The Everglades Foundation and serving on the boards of World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment.


A few years in, their two young grandchildren made a proposal of their own. They would pool their contributions with their parents and give a $4,000 scholarship to a local high school senior.


Today, Field dedicates his efforts to impactful philanthropy in both Illinois and Florida. Through the Marshall and Jamee Field Family Fund and his ongoing work with the Community Foundation, he helps drive initiatives that strengthen local communities and preserve natural resources for future generations.
