Technology Upgrades
An Investment to Update
In 2021, the Community Foundation engaged in a strategic planning process. The results and recommendations are included in a strategic direction that will guide our work through 2025. An in-depth, systemwide IT assessment, led by Community Foundation staff and key board members, emphasized the need for an information technology upgrade. We have made an investment to update our information technology, including our databases and web portals.
We are excited to announce the arrival of our upgraded Fund Advisor Portal system. This portal replaces DonorCentral and allows you to interact with your fund(s) via a secure, password protected website.
All Fund Advisors should have received an email alerting them to update their login credentials so they can access the new portal to manage their fund activity, make grant recommendations, view past gifts, and more.
Please visit www.oshkoshareacf.org/fund-advisor-portal to learn more.
Thank you for your patience during our technology upgrade. You can count on your Community Foundation to continue to provide outstanding service with an improved technology platform. We appreciate your support!
Our NEW Fund Advisor Portal is targeted to launch next Wednesday, February 8. This portal will replace DonorCentral, improving your user experience for requesting grants and accessing fund information. DonorCentral will no longer accessible after Wednesday, February 8.
Some of our services will be unavailable until the NEW Fund Advisor Portal is launched.
