Overview
As the population of older adults in our community grows, additional resources will be required to support their specialized needs. Grants from the Ladies Benevolent Society: Advocates for Older Adults Fund, a field of interest fund within the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, are targeted to help nonprofit organizations provide services to benefit the elderly in the Oshkosh area. Eligible proposals will:
- Serve adults age 55 or older in the Oshkosh area
- Help adults in economic need and that are socially isolated
- Improve the health and well-being of older adults in our community
Preference will be given to projects or programs that serve larger numbers of older adults and can demonstrate the impact of prior grants from the Ladies Benevolent Society Fund. Grant awards will not typically support staffing expenses (i.e., salary or benefits).
