The Oconomowoc Area Foundation is looking forward to this year’s Grant Application Cycle! The OAF makes grants to nonprofit organizations that serve communities within the Oconomowoc Area School District, including the towns of Ashippun, Ixonia, Okauchee, Summit, Dousman, and Nashotah. It is not necessary that the organization be physically located within the greater Oconomowoc area, but that it can demonstrate it provides services to the residents of these communities.
The Priorities for Support from the OAF Are:
- Programs for children and youth.
- Programs providing support services for the elderly.
- Programs providing support services for people facing undue hardship or life-threatening conditions.
- Programs that preserve and protect the environment and wildlife.
- Programs that enrich the community through economic, cultural, and arts development.
The OAF 2025 Grant Timeline:
– OAF Grant Process Info Meeting for Nonprofits: Tuesday April 22, 8:30-10 a.m.
– Held at the Oconomowoc Community Center, 220 W. Wisconsin Ave., downtown Oconomowoc
