Support Our Special Initiatives

Ox-Bow is dedicated to fostering creativity, community, and preservation through three focused initiatives. The Ox-Bow House Seed Fund aims to secure the future of our beloved Ox-Bow House by raising the remaining funds needed to purchase the property, ensuring its role as a cultural hub in historic downtown Douglas. Our Scholarship Opportunities make the transformative Ox-Bow experience accessible to all students, regardless of financial background. Additionally, the Founders' Stewardship Fund focuses on the ongoing care and preservation of our historic campus and natural environment. Your support is crucial in helping us achieve these goals and continue our mission.
