Local Initiatives

The Oak Hill Fund has no predetermined guidelines concerning specific size of grant requests. Historically, The Fund has made grants of varying size. Please base your grant request on your organization's need. We have a rolling application process with no deadlines, but once invited, submissions will be considered as we receive them.

The Application Process begins with a letter of inquiry submitted through our online system. All letters will be answered. After reviewing your letter we will decide whether to invite a full proposal.

To begin the process, please click on one of the oak leaves next to an initiative. The system will prompt you to create a login name and password if you are a first-time user. You do not need an invitation code to submit a letter of inquiry. Thank you for your interest in The Oak Hill Fund's initiatives.
