Meghan B. Merkert Foundation

Meghan Brady Merkert was a radiant light—a devoted wife to Hayes, a loving mother to Peyton and Margot, a daughter, a sister-in-law, and a friend who showed up with heart and believed deeply in the power of community.

On December 20, 2024, Meghan passed suddenly, leaving an impossible space to fill. In her memory, the Meghan B. Merkert Foundation was formed to honor the values she lived by: connection, kindness, and a belief that education opens doors and creates belonging.

Our mission is to support local families in accessing quality education. This foundation is our way of turning gratitude into action—honoring Meghan by lifting others, strengthening community, and nurturing potential.
