Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation
In many ways, Oscar Reimold personified the American Dream. The son of German immigrants, he worked hard, lived frugally, invested wisely, and became a successful businessman. Not just a man of business, Oscar was, in the words of a longtime friend, “a man with a good heart.” In his will, Oscar left a gift to create an endowment at the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation that would help Ann Arbor seniors.
Established: 1981
Original Gift: $448,000
Grants Awarded: $1,316,240*
Fund Value: $1,265,050*
*As of 12/31/12
Since 1981 this endowment has generated more than $1.3 million in grants—nearly three times the original gift. Oscar’s generosity has touched thousands of livesthrough organizations such as Ann Arbor Senior Center, Catholic Social Services, Food Gatherers,Packard Health, Neighborhood Senior Services, and Arbor Hospice. And as the Oscar Reimold Fund continues to grow, Oscar will continue to help Ann Arbor’s seniors live independently and with dignity.
One of the many ways the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation supports all that is good in our community.
