Community 101
Collaboration and critical thinking, with an overlay of civic engagement, are at the root of C101, the foundation's youth philanthropy program. Students work together to identify community needs, research nonprofits, conduct site visits, review grant applications and make funding decisions. Each classroom has $5,000 to award in grants to community nonprofits.
Our donors care.
OCF connects caring with action by matching donors to causes and communities in need.
Donors in the OCF community are as varied as the state we serve. We guide individuals, families, businesses and organizations with all sizes of charitable resources at their disposal.
For the past 38 years, we’ve helped donors create charitable funds to support the causes they care about.
