Otsego Career Access Network
Otsego County students are college‑ready, but far fewer have historically enrolled in or completed post‑secondary education. By investing in the Otsego Career Access Network, the Otsego Community Foundation is helping close that gap—boosting enrollment, increasing completion, and strengthening the county’s workforce for the future.
Otsego Housing Task Force
Access to safe, attainable housing is essential for a thriving community, yet many Otsego County residents are being priced out. Through leadership, collaboration, and strategic investment, the Otsego Community Foundation helped launch and support the Otsego Housing Task Force to address this growing challenge.
START Collaborative
Born out of hard lessons from recent disasters, the START Collaborative is strengthening Otsego County’s ability to respond, recover, and support residents—especially the most vulnerable. Through collaboration, planning, and shared resources, START is building a more connected and resilient community.
