Background
The Oxford Fund was established in 1997. The purpose of the fund is to support nonprofit organizations and projects that serve Oxford County. This fund is a permanent, grantmaking resource that grows through contributions from individuals, businesses, and foundations. These partners share our commitment to strengthen Maine communities and increase charitable resources for all.
The Oxford County Committee is made up of leaders who live and/or work in Oxford County. These advisors serve as local ambassadors for the foundation, review proposals, recommend grant awards, and help build philanthropic resources in the region.
The Oxford County Committee awards grants from the Oxford County Fund and other related funds through the Community Building Grant Program. They make recommendations to fund proposals that meet the grant program criteria and have the greatest potential for positive impact on the quality of life in Oxford County.
