The Oconomowoc Area Foundation (The OAF) is a supporting foundation of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, one of the nation’s largest, most experienced community foundations. Together we ensure the funds that make up the Oconomowoc Area Foundation are managed prudently and administered efficiently.

Gifts to the Foundation help build a general fund that supports local projects screened by the Oconomowoc civic leaders who make up the Foundation’s board. From this general fund, the Foundation makes approximately $300,000 in grants annually focusing on six priorities for improving the Oconomowoc Area:
 
1. Programs for children and youth, particularly teens 
2. Services to the elderly, particularly those with limited access to community services 
3. Arts and cultural programs 
4. Programs providing support services for persons facing life-threatening conditions or for the families of such persons 
5. Programs that preserve the environment through reduction of pollution, conservation or restoration of natural areas, education or protection of wildlife 
6. Economic development.

Donors may also establish an affiliated fund that they name and dedicate to causes they choose. Designated funds support agencies or fields of interest specified by their donors. Advised funds provide donors with a way to channel support from their fund to causes they recommend periodically.
