    Summary

    The John R. Oishei Foundation supports work throughout the eight counties of Western New York in the following inter-related areas:

    • Strengthen the P-20 Education Continuum: At The John R. Oishei Foundation, we support best practices and partners across the entire P-20 continuum (from prenatal through early adulthood). Improving access to education is one of the most effective ways to change lives and strengthen communities for the long term. Education opens up opportunities, and empowers people to earn more, raise healthier families, and achieve their fullest potential year after year.
    • Enhance Options for Self-Sufficiency: The John R. Oishei Foundation supports efforts that focus on the individual by providing basic human needs, enhancing options for self-sufficiency, and empowering underserved communities to remove barriers to escaping poverty.
    • Build Livable, Stable Neighborhoods: The John R. Oishei Foundation supports efforts that build strong, stable neighborhoods that are physically safe and attractive, and that provide access to healthy food, reliable transportation, quality healthcare, safe and affordable housing, vibrant commercial districts, quality schools, and meaningful employment opportunities.
    • Promote Health and Improve Systems of Care: The John R. Oishei Foundation promotes health and improves systems of care by supporting primary care, promoting improvements in behavioral/mental health, and addressing developmental/intellectual disabilities (DD/ID), with a priority on serving at-risk and underserved populations. In addition, we provide education and assistance to community partners regarding changing healthcare delivery systems and reimbursement infrastructures.
    • Expand the Role of Arts, Culture, and Heritage in Regional Development: The John R. Oishei Foundation supports efforts to increase the number of local visitors and tourists to stimulate economic development through arts, culture, and heritage. In addition, we support the integration of the arts across all of our focus areas with an emphasis on education, healthcare, civic engagement, and neighborhood stabilization.
