To build enduring charitable resources used to positively impact our community by serving as a partner and resource for donors, their advisors, and area nonprofits; making it simple for donors to fulfill their individual goals in giving back; providing stewardship of donor gifts and charitable intent for generations to come; and fulfilling a leadership role on important community issues.
Osi Foundation Inc centers much of its recent giving on One Southern Indiana, with three consecutive grants of $150,500 in 2023, $118,500 in 2024, and $89,000 in 2025. That pattern points to sustained support for an organization tied to Southern Indiana’s civic and economic life rather than one-off project funding. The foundation’s broader structure also suggests a donor-advised or community foundation model built around stewardship, since its stated purpose emphasizes serving donors and their advisors, preserving charitable intent, and addressing community issues over time. Its grantmaking is local and entirely within Indiana, with activity aligned to community needs in Clark and Floyd counties and to regional initiatives across Southern Indiana. The foundation also supports a mix of nonprofit capacity, community projects, parks and public spaces, emergency response, youth philanthropy, scholarships, and health-related coordinated care. Across those areas, the pattern is less about national reach than about sustained investment in nearby organizations, public infrastructure, and local service systems.
In nonprofit capacity building, Osi Foundation Inc funds organizations that need stronger operating systems, strategic planning, and sustainability. The Capacity Building Grants Program is designed to improve nonprofit operating capacity so groups can sustain essential services and strengthen organizational effectiveness. For community-based small projects, the Community Assist Grants Program supports year-round requests that align with local needs and priorities, with grants of $1,000 to $5,000 in Clark and Floyd counties. The foundation also invests in the built environment through Quality of Place: Pathways to Progress Grants, which support public spaces, parks, and greenspaces in Clark and Floyd counties, especially in underserved, rural, and low-income communities. Youth-focused funding appears through the Youth Philanthropy Council Grants, which back programs and projects that benefit youth and give preference to organizations involving young people in planning and implementation.
Typical grant size sits in a narrow range: the 25th percentile is $103,750, the median is $118,500, and the 75th percentile is $134,500. That distribution is consistent with a few large grants rather than a broad spread of small awards. Recent filings also show repeat support to the same recipient across 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation’s structure reads like a community foundation-style vehicle for charitable stewardship, with language focused on donor intent, advisor partnerships, and long-term charitable resources. It also runs both unsolicited and invitation-only programs, depending on the grant line. Some programs are year-round, including Community Assist and Capacity Building grants.
