Description
This grant opportunity, administered by the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, is dedicated to supporting nonprofit organizations that serve older adults (aged 55 or older) in the Oshkosh area. The fund prioritizes projects that help seniors—particularly those experiencing economic hardship or social isolation—maintain independence, health, and a sense of purpose.
