The Jane Deming Fund is a permanent endowment at the Orange County Community Foundation, aiming to support musical activities and education in Orange County, with a special focus on assisting under-served youth and promoting classical music.
For the 2023-2024 funding period, the Margaret E. Oser Fund for Women aims to support organizations that improve outcomes for women affected by substance abuse, mental health, and domestic violence. The goal is to back organizations implementing or enhancing evidence-based programs like trauma-informed care, providing aftercare, and offering recovery support. The fund specifically seeks to support gender-specific programs and services tailored to the needs of women, although a small percentage of men may also benefit. Key areas of focus include employment support and placement services for women re-entering the workforce, childcare services to facilitate this process, and physical and behavioral health care programs that support women.
