ABOUT US - YOUR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Our reach
We've been part of the community since 1928, when 10 innovative and forward-thinking business leaders established the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation to encourage "public spirited citizens" to invest in the future of Oshkosh. More than 80 years later, we are sustaining and expanding our founders' vision to create a legacy that will benefit Winnebago County, Waushara County, Green Lake County and Ripon, now and for generations to come.
Our growth
On June 30, 2010, the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation marked its fiscal year-end with nearly $64 million in assets and almost 600 charitable funds. These funds, established by individuals, families, nonprofit organizations and corporations, support a wide range of community projects. Arts, animals, community betterment, education, elderly, environment, health care, scholarships, women and youth are among the interest areas represented. More than 840 grants totaling $3 million were distributed this past fiscal year.
Our future
We are reaching out to professional advisors, community leaders, businesses and nonprofit organizations to help community-minded donors achieve their charitable goals. By making it easy for people to give, either directly or through planned gifts, we can forge links between our donors' personal interests and the nonprofit organizations that improve our community.
