Area served:
The Foundation makes grants to organizations that serve communities within
the Oconomowoc school district (including all of the town of Ixonia) as
well as Dousman and Nashotah. It is not necessary that the organization
be physically located within these communities, but that it be able to
demonstrate that it is providing services to the residents of these communities.
The priorities for support from the Fund are:
- 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.
