Welcome to Nonprofit View. This feature, allows nonprofits a secure, paperless way to update organization information and apply for funding.

General Grant Application. We realize that a need or opportunity may arise for your organization outside of the Community Grant Program.  If you find yourself in this situation, please contact Karin Beyer at karin@otsegofoundation.org.

Community Grant Program. Since 2015, The Otsego Community Foundation has administered the Community Grant Program, a collaborative effort of local funders that increases the effectiveness of grantmaking and grows the capacity of local nonprofits. Collectively, we can make more of an impact on projects and programs. As the administrator of this program, the OCF will serve as your contact through the grant-seeking process. This program addresses the limited capacity of organizations to apply to multiple funding sources. Each winter, applicants complete one online application, which is reviewed by multiple funders, each with their own funding priorities and focus areas. The Community Grant Program is a one-stop grantmaking source for nonprofit organizations serving Otsego County.

This year's Community Grant Application opens on January 3rd and closes on February 1st. Funding decisions will be available in April.
