    About Oakwood Foundation

    Oakwood Foundation Inc centers its grantmaking on Oakwood’s own campus network in Madison, with large general-operations grants flowing to the organizations that run Oakwood Village University Woods Homes Inc, Oakwood Village Prairie Ridge Homes Inc, and the related apartment entities. The pattern is consistent across 2023, 2024, and 2025: the foundation’s biggest awards support core operations rather than discrete projects, and they are directed to nonprofit organizations tied to eldercare, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, memory care, and resident support. In the recent grant record, Oakwood Village University Woods Homes Inc received $5,150,336 in 2023 and $2,132,566 in 2024, while Oakwood Village Prairie Ridge Homes Inc received $1,716,251 in 2024 and $648,025 in 2025. Those same grantees also appear in the apartment side of the campus structure, indicating support across multiple parts of the Oakwood system. Smaller grants extend that same operating-support model to other Madison organizations, including Catholic Charities Inc Diocese of Madison, Agebetter Inc, and Oakwood Chamber Players Inc.

    What Oakwood Foundation Funds

    Oakwood Foundation Inc funds operational and programmatic support for elder services first. The largest recent examples are general-operations grants to Oakwood Village University Woods Homes Inc and Oakwood Village Prairie Ridge Homes Inc, which align with the foundation’s stated focus on eldercare, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, and memory care. Staff support is another clear theme: the foundation’s own summary emphasizes staff development, and the grants continue that operating-support approach across its campus entities. Beyond direct care, the foundation also backs community-facing organizations in Madison. It gave $30,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Catholic Charities Inc Diocese of Madison, and it supported Agebetter Inc with $22,000 in 2024 and $24,000 in 2025. Cultural and neighborhood organizations also appear, including Oakwood Chamber Players Inc and Madison-area Urban Ministry Dba Just Dane, both funded for general operations.

    How Oakwood Foundation Gives

    Oakwood Foundation Inc gives at a large scale for a local funder: the typical grant size is $40,603 at the 25th percentile, $366,040 at the median, and $1,448,192 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Oakwood Village entities and a few Madison nonprofits, which points to recurring support rather than isolated gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grants in the recent sample are all general operations, consistent with a core-support model for nonprofit organizations.
