Funded Programs
Oshkosh Area United Way (OAUW) helps as many people as possible by funding local programs that strengthen early childhood development, financial stability, and mental health. The funding process begins with the Community Investment Application, which is available to any organization with local programming focused on one of OAUW’s three impact areas.
Each application is reviewed by a financial review committee to ensure the program is in solid financial standing. Once approved, applicants participate in a panel interview with the Community Investment committee. This committee includes over 50 community volunteers dedicating more than 1,000 hours to ensure Community Investment Grants are awarded to programs truly making a difference in the Oshkosh community.
Thank you to the thousands of supporters and volunteers who have enabled United Way to create positive change in our local community since 1962.
