We are excited to announce the Community Grant Program will continue this fall! The Community Grant Program has always been a collaborative effort of local funders to increase the effectiveness of grantmaking and grow the capacity of local nonprofits. This year between natural disasters and the OCF transitioning to a new software system, numerous things have impacted the usual spring timeline. In order to keep the original intention of the program and to better develop a process that serves OCF staff, funding partners, and organizational partners, our grant application process is going through a slight makeover this year.
We appreciate your patience as we make this shift to best serve you. Informational sessions will be available before the application opens according to the dates above and more details will be shared in the coming weeks. Please reach out to DeLayni at delayni@otsegofoundation.org if you have any questions.
As we celebrate 30 years of impact, we invite you to explore our interactive timeline—highlighting the people, stories, and milestones that shaped the Otsego Community Foundation.
