Our Mission

We bring together the financial resources of individuals, families, and businesses to support nonprofits in our communities. 

The Oshkosh Area Community Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that works with hundreds of donors who wish to invest in the future.

Since 1928, the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation has helped donors turn their charitable investments into projects that add energy and vitality to our communities. Serving Winnebago County, Waushara County, Green Lake County, and the city of Ripon, the Foundation is helping build stronger, more vibrant communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

 

Our mission is simple: to strengthen our communities.

We accomplish this through:

  • Bringing together leadership and funding to engage the community by coordinating local change efforts, engaging citizens, and bringing diverse voices and views together to address current and emerging needs
  • Collaboration and partnership with donors or others to ensure lasting impact and to improve quality of life for perpetuity
  • Stewarding the funds of our donors and connecting them to important projects in order to see their philanthropic dreams come to life
