APPLICATION PROCESS

Grant applications are available online 1-2 months prior to the application deadline.

All grant applications are reviewed by an independent advisory committee. This committee reviews all applications received, and recommends awards to the organizations that best meet the granting criteria.

After the advisory committee has made its recommendations, the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation board of directors votes to approve the grant awards. Following board approval, all applying organizations will be notified of the granting decision. Generally, nonprofit organizations are typically notified within 90 days of the application deadline.

Many nonprofit organizations are required to complete mid-term grant reports or a final grant report upon completion of the grant period. Please reference your grant agreement for reporting requirements specific to your grant. Failure to submit a required grant report may affect your ability to apply for grant funds in the future.
