Our Goal in Grant Making

The Osage City Area Community Foundation makes grants for innovative and creative projects and programs that are responsive to changing community needs in the areas of health, social service, education, recreation, and cultural affairs. Preference is given to those grants which are not directly tax supported or agencies which have taxing authority. Generally, grants rarely exceed $2,500.00 and operational expenses are not funded.
