Oshkosh Corporation Foundation Grant

The Oshkosh Corporation Foundation provides grant funding aimed at addressing complex societal issues, particularly focusing on poverty alleviation and community resilience. Grants are awarded to tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that serve communities where Oshkosh Corporation employees live and work. The Foundation prioritizes support for initiatives that meet basic needs, promote self-sufficiency, offer youth mentoring, and involve nonprofits connected to the industry in meaningful ways. Eligible applicants must hold a valid 501(c)(3) designation from the IRS and comply with all federal, state, and local non-discrimination laws to ensure equitable access to their programs. The Foundation does not fund individuals, athletic organizations, medical or research entities, religious groups, capital campaigns, endowments, conference advertising, or multi-year funding proposals. Grant applications are accepted quarterly, with deadlines on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15. Following each deadline, applications undergo a review process that typically spans six to eight weeks. Interested applicants are encouraged to contact the community engagement team at Oshkosh Corporation to discuss their proposals and verify the alignment with the Foundation’s funding priorities before submitting. Grant funding is restricted to nonprofit programs aligned with the Foundation’s focus areas. Organizations that do not meet eligibility criteria, or those proposing initiatives outside the defined scope, are not considered. Proposals should demonstrate collaboration, clear impact on community challenges, and strategic use of funding to drive long-term benefits in the target areas. Although specific contact information for the grant team is not provided on the site, applicants are invited to engage with Oshkosh Corporation’s community engagement division for any clarifications or to discuss their grant’s feasibility.
