The mission of the Greater Oxford Community Foundation is to improve, enhance, and sustain the quality of life in the Greater Oxford area by awarding grants and scholarships for programs and projects that benefit the community. This is achieved through the generous contributions of donors, including cash and marketable securities, as well as planned gifts such as estate bequests, life insurance policies naming the foundation as beneficiary, and other deferred assets.
The Greater Oxford Community Foundation Grants program aims to support projects and programs in the Greater Oxford area, which involves the geographic region of the Talawanda School District. It focuses on a wide array of areas including education, environment and conservation, social services, physical and mental health, arts and culture, and civic projects. The Foundation emphasizes promoting diversity, equality, and a discrimination-free community, addressing needs based on race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic or religious background, age, or disability.
