Our Story
The Greater Oxford Community Foundation serves a 144 square mile area including Oxford and the surrounding community by providing leadership in enhancing the quality of life; by supporting natural, community, and human resources; by acting as a catalyst in identifying and addressing evolving needs; and by providing a flexible and cost-effective way for donors to improve the community now and for all time.
Our Mission
The mission of the Greater Oxford Community Foundation is to improve, enhance, and sustain the quality of life in the Greater Oxford area (defined as the Talawanda School District) by awarding grants and scholarships for programs and projects that benefit the citizens of the community. Grants are funded through generous donors who contribute charitable gifts of cash and marketable securities as well as planned gifts such as estate bequests, life insurance policies that name the foundation as beneficiary, and other types of deferred assets.
You may direct your contribution for immediate use or investment in the Foundation’s endowment to generate annual income supporting the causes you care about.
The Foundation is governed by 15 volunteer members of the Board of Directors who lend considerable time and expertise to help the organization grow and prosper. Through the work of an Executive Director and Operations Administrator, the Board oversees the Foundation's growing endowment, now at $13,200,000, and the distribution of monies awarded for grants and scholarships. Since its start in 1996, the Foundation has awarded nearly $6 million to improve the quality of life in our community!
