Grant Process

On behalf of the Oxford Area Foundation Board of Directors, please accept our deep appreciation for the work you do to build safer, stronger, more vibrant communities.  

Over the past 15 years, OAF has partnered with hundreds of nonprofit organizations across a wide variety of sectors to assist in the pursuit and fulfillment of their missions.  We admire their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to improving the communities they serve through innovative programs and services.

The Oxford Area Foundation continuously strives to effect positive change through philanthropy.  After completing a thoughtful and thorough evaluation of our grant-making procedures, we've determined a shift to an “invitation-only” process.  We believe this transition will enable the Foundation’s philanthropic investments to have greater impact in the community.  

Effective immediately, we will no longer accept unsolicited proposals.  Moving forward, the Foundation will actively identify and reach out to nonprofit organizations to explore opportunities for partnerships.

The Oxford Area Foundation wishes you continued success.
