Overview:

Oconomowoc Area Foundation Grants

The Oconomowoc Area Foundation supports programs for children and youth, human services, arts and culture, conservation and economic development within the city of Oconomowoc or otherwise serving Oconomowoc residents. It is intended that grants be used to encourage the development of new programs or program expansions rather than as budget contributions to sustain the existing level of service.

• Programs for children and youth, particularly teens;
• Services to the elderly, particularly those with limited access to community services;
• Arts and cultural programs;
• Programs providing support services for persons facing life-threatening conditions or for the families of such persons;
• Programs that preserve the environment through reduction of pollution, conservation or restoration of natural areas, education or protection of wildlife;
• Economic development.

Applying for grants from the Oconomowoc Area Foundation does not in any way disqualify charitable organizations for applying for other Greater Milwaukee Foundation grants.

• Public and private schools are eligible for grants.
