In December 2024, the Oconomowoc Area Foundation announced our New Year’s Resolution to reach $1 Million in Signature Club Donations in 2025. We are happy to announce that in just six months, we had more than met that goal, thanks to generous contributions from our current and new Signature Club members!
Since the inception of the Signature Club Fund in 2011, 190 individuals and families have “signed up” to be a part of a movement that is committed to meeting the changing needs of the Oconomowoc community. Collectively, that is a $1.9 Million Dollar Promise to Lift Up Our Community!
Becoming a member of the Signature Club means that sometime during your lifetime, you are making a promise to donate a minimum of $10,000 to the OAF’s General Endowment, which funds the annual grants awarded annually to local nonprofits.
The majority of our Signature Club Members begin making donations to the OAF right after they express their interest in supporting our mission. Many members have already met their $10,000 commitment, and a good portion of our contributors continue to give generously, going above and beyond their original commitment. We are beyond grateful!
OAF Business Signature Club
We want to keep that positive energy going by reintroducing our OAF Business Signature Club! Becoming a member means your business is making a commitment to give a minimum of $10,000 to the OAF’s General Endowment Fund within eight years.
You’ll be joining forces with other local businesses, like Bank Five Nine, MSI General, Pat’s Heating and Cooling, Industrial Vacuum, Ewald Auto, Oliver Construction, Snyder & Ek, and Stapleton Realty, just to name a few. Your donations can truly impact the lives of many for years to come!
