OCF Fall Grant Applications are now open!

Applications close October 2 at 4 PM.

ABOUT THE GRANTS:
OCF community grants are made possible by the many generous donors who have contributed to Legacy and Community Funds. A total of $83,400 is available for granting. Grants are typically between $500 and $10,000.

 

Community Funds are powerful tools for local impact. Built on the belief that the people who live in a community are best equipped to shape its future, these permanent funds grow over time to provide steady, reliable grants for local priorities, today and for generations to come.

Because communities thrive when all aspects of community life are supported, OCF invests in a wide range of needs and opportunities through our fall granting program. This includes:
  • celebrating arts and culture,
  • advancing education,
  • protecting the environment,
  • preserving heritage,
  • fostering sports and recreation,
  • strengthening health and wellness,
  • caring for those in need through social services.
