The U.S. Oil Open Fund for Basic Needs is an endowed fund established within the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation and the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation to assist nonprofit organizations with a proven record of success in maintaining solid, critical programs that address the root causes of poverty and prevent persons in episodic crisis from becoming person of chronic need.
Between 1989 and 2008 over $5 million in grants has been made to non-profit organizations in Green Bay and the Fox Valley. Despite this, in every quarterly grants cycle, in each funding area, there are important, worthy requests that cannot be met.
