Description
The Oshkosh Area Community Foundation’s Youth Programs grants support charitable projects and programs that further youth development in Winnebago County. Funding comes from a variety of youth-related field-of-interest funds held by the foundation, with the goal of creating better opportunities for children.
Priorities include environmental education and outdoor learning, new youth services addressing documented needs, and existing programs demonstrating continued need—particularly those promoting volunteerism or leadership skills. The program also supports adaptive equipment and assistive devices, such as walkers, wheelchairs, and hearing aids, for children with impairments or disabilities. Proposals are assessed for their potential to produce measurable, meaningful outcomes for a significant number of young people, supported by realistic plans, justified budgets, and evidence of community need.
