Our Strategy

In 2017, we re-affirmed our long-standing commitment to strengthen families and improve communities in which O’Neill family members live, streamlined our grant processes and shortened our grant applications.

What Influenced Our Decision

Our grantmaking strategy reflects our research collected throughout an extensive year-long internal and external review process. We drew on the experiences of organizations that have seen measurable changes within their communities and reviewed best practices for foundations that engage in transformational leadership – both through grant and non-grant related activities.
