About Ernest C Oberholtzer Foundation

Their giving favors regional organizations that strengthen the nonprofit sector and local communities rather than project-specific or national causes. Grants are unrestricted/’general use,’ suggesting a preference for flexible support that helps recipients cover core expenses.
