Why partner with the Community Foundation?
Show Your Customers & Community You Care
At the Otsego Community Foundation, we believe strong communities are built through shared investment and collective action. Our work is powered by individuals, families, and businesses who care deeply about Otsego County and want to make a lasting impact. More companies are partnering with community foundations to reflect their values, strengthen customer loyalty, and invest in the places they call home.
Aligning with the Otsego Community Foundation is a powerful way to show you care—and to make a real difference. With brand association to an organization that has awarded over $6.7 million in grants since 1994 and media outreach reaching 5,000+ people monthly, your partnership amplifies both purpose and visibility.
Be a Part of the Impact
In recent years, the Otsego Community Foundation has taken a proactive approach to grantmaking—investing in high-impact partners and leveraging external funding to drive progress in areas such as:
- Training beyond high school
- Attainable housing
- Coordinated human services
In the last two years alone, OCF has secured $270,000 in outside funding to accelerate this momentum and address critical needs with strategic solutions. Your support helps us continue this work, expanding the reach and impact of our collective efforts.

What Our Partners Are Saying
As a business owner in this community and raising a family here, partnering with the OCF will help me in continuing my passion to help build a strong community and gain a better understanding in helping fill the needs where OCF feels is best. I also feel the positive impact of the mission of the OCF and how it affects our youth to help them grow into leaders for our community.
