The mission of the Oshkosh Seniors Center(OSC) is to enrich the quality of life for adults
age 50 and over. OSC has been providing services to the City of Oshkosh for over 35 years.
Programming is based on the Seven Dimensions of Wellness to promote positive attitudes
toward aging and a higher quality of living for seniors in the City of Oshkosh. The Seven
Dimensions are: Social, Physical, Emotional, Volunteer, Intellectual, Environmental, and
Spiritual. Each month staff provide a variety of programming that addresses these seven areas
as a way of providing a well-rounded approach to addressing the basic needs of adults 50+ in
the City of Oshkosh.

Page 1/9
If yes,why? .
We are requesting funding for our well-rounded approach to programming to address
� to needs of our changing population. In the United States 10,000 people are turning 65�
, everyday. In fact, by 2016, it is expected that there will be more peopie over the age.of 60 than
those under the age of 15. OSC has experienced an increase in the number of people attending
programming. In 2013,we increased the number of visits to OSC by 8,000 (50,000 to 58,000).
To address that increase, OSC acknowledges the need to adapt to the changes in our
population. Seniors are living longer, healthier, and more active lives. OSC is committed to
increasing programming and hours to accommodate those changes in our population.
However, at the same time,funding from municipal�sources has decreased drastically over
the last two years,while the cost of providing staff to serve doubling numbers of seniors has
increased.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Use of grant funds—Provide a specific description of the activities (including .
staffin� that will be funded with this grant:
( OSC will use the funds received from this grant to fund the Seven Dimensions of
Wellness programming. The Seven Dimensions of Wellness is a unique and innovative
approach to providing and structuring programs that focuses on basic human needs. It is never
too late to provide opportunities for paradigm shifts and provide opportunities for seniors to
refocus their lives on each of the following areas.
• Social Wellness is the process of creating and maintaining healthy relationships and
encourages contributing to the human and physical environment for the common
welfare of your community. Social Wellness is incorporated in a11 levels of programming
such as gatherings and community events, meals, concerts, dances, and games, cards,
and BINGO.
• Physical Wellness is the process of making choices to create flexible, aerobically fit,
� energetic, and strong bodies. OSC has a strong fitness program,with equipment,
regular classes, assessments and lifestyle counseling, health services, and nutritious
meals.
• Emotiona)Wellness is the process of accepting our worth, creating, recognizing; and
expressing our feelings, and talking to ourselves in healthy ways. This component 1s
accomplished through the partnership with Lutheran Social Services counseling and
many support groups.
� • Occupational Wellness is the process of making and maintaining choices related to
work,which we gain satisfaction. It requires balance, continued education and training,
� and positive contributions. OSC offers a multitude of volunteer opportunities and works
to match a volunteer to a position that best compliments their interests, needs, and
strengths. OSC incorporates over 400 volunteers and for a total of 28,Q00 haurs of
volunteer time per year to serve OSC and the community.
• Intellectua!Wellness is the process of using our minds to create understanding and
appreciation of the universe and ourselves. Examples of such programming would be
informational/educational classes, language classes, woodshop, art studio,writing
groups, and the computer lab.
• Environmental Wellness is the process of making choices, which will contribute to
sustaining or improving the quality of life in the universe. This includes making
responsible choices and recognition of the interdependence of life. This way of thinking
is incorporated in all aspects of programming throughout OSC by working to improve
quality of life and making responsible choices-for self and the community.
• Spiritual Wellness is the process of discovering meaning and purpose in life and
demonstrating values through behaviors. OSC strives to provide a great variety in
programming so that there is something for most people, improve self-worth by giving
� life purpose and meaning, providing a network of support, and encourage healthy
choices.
Page 4/9
,
With the Seven Dimensions of Wellness always in mind, OSC continues to work to ,
increase its programming and serve the needs of adults 50+. Young "seniors", age 50 to'65,
often request programming after 4 pm. We recognize that serving people 50+ means that we
� are serving multi-generations of seniors with varying needs. Many young seniors still have
children at home, are caring for aging parents, and/or still working. Their needs are much
different than the older senior.
Health care and education is an on-going need. Many seniors are not receiving the basic
preventative hea(th care they need because of its extreme cost. Even with insurance, health
care costs can be difficult. By having a health coordinator on staff, O5C can partner with other
health care agencies to provide basic care at minimal cost for such things as blood pressure,
screenings,foot care,vaccinations,screenings, etc. �
Loneliness and isolation can be very clifficult for older adults. Loss and grief is another �
big part of their lives. Providing volunteer opportunities,support groups, social activities, and
just a place to meet new people can make a big difference in the overall wellness of a person.
Program staff and the volunteer coordinator strive to provide multiple opportunities to
increase social wellness. _
As we age our bodies do not always work the way they did before. We loose muscle,
flexibility, and endurance. OSC is lucky enough to not only have a full-time program .
coordinator, but also a part-time fitness coordinator. Naving someone solely dedicated to
fitness is a great benefit to our seniors, because this person can teach classes and expand
programming and partnerships in the community.This has allowed OSC to develop a
r challenging fitness program through classes, assessments, personal training, and a large variety
�_ of fitness equipment for use.
� OSC has six fufl-time staff people and seven part-time, along with two staff from other-
agencies (Senior Connections from Lutheran Social Services and Retired Senior Volunteer
Program Coordinator from ADVOCAP) who provide services at OSC. All work to keep the Seven
Dimensions of Wellness in the forefront their minds. They are united in their focus to be
mission driven by enriching the quality life for adults 50 and older. From the manager to the
receptionists at the front desk everyone is touching the lives of the older population in the City
of Oshkosh. -
12. Identify your target population: OSC serves adufts 50 and older in our community. OSC does
have participants who come from throughout the county and surrounding counties. Many of
those people come from more rural communities that are not able to offer the same variety of
programming and services.
13. Local Needs—State specific local needs or problems which your proposal intends to
address. Please provide statistical information to just�the need, and state your data source.
OSC keeps a data base and documents the people it serves every day. Some statistics
� from 2013 are: OSC served 4,080 unduplicated people. Of those people 66%were women and
34%were men, The average age of people using OSC is 70, with six(6) people actually being
Page 5/9
over 100! The majority of people (89%) coming to OSC, live within the City of Oshkosh. Also
99% of the people attending are Caucasian showing that diversity of race and ethnicity has not
reached OSC yet. As our population becomes more diverse, OSC is looking for ways to serve
new groups of people.
�
Our population is aging rapidly. We are blessed to live in a time when people are also
living longer and healthier lives. However,for people who are low-to-moderate income,
financial and physical constraints can make taking care of wellness difficult, unaffordable, and
overwhelming. OSC recognizes that families are more mobile, pulled in many directions, and
often unable to address all of the needs of their aging family members. OSC provides a well- ,
rounded, affordable, and quality fitness and wellness services to the adults over the age of 50.
Through the Seven Dimension of Wellness programming, OSC is addressing all aspects
of Wellness. Through educational programming on money matters; providing work and
� volunteer opportunities and socialization; offering multiple physical wellness opportunities;
and having a facility on the bus line strategically located in the center of the city, OSC is meeting
those basic needs of adults 50+,

21. If your agency receives partial funding for the praposed project,would you be able to
raise the remainder of the funds to operate the program? How?
� OSCs fundraising arm of the organization is the Friends of the Oshkosh Seniors Center.
OSC aiso receives a portion of funding through the City of Oshkosh and Winnebago County
budget. In this financial and budgetary environment it is becoming more difficult to raise large
amounts of funds for programming. Also, many grants and funding opportunities exist for
children,families, housing, and education, but very few fund basic need services for seniors.
However, OSG is committed to the Seven Dimensions of Wellness and will make every effort to
fundraise and write grants to support its work for the Oshkosh Seniors Center. �
22. This funding wiIl be short-term.What is your long-term funding plan?
OSC has o.pportunities for long-term funding. The Friends of the Oshkosh Seniors Center
(FOSC) provide volunteer and financial support to OSC. OSC's Fund Developer works closely
with the FOSC Board to connect with donors both personal and corporate, encourage capital
and planned giving, increase the profitability of fundraising events, and pursue grants.
23. Does the proposed project involve collaboration with other agencies? X Yes No
Please explain who you collaborate with to avoid unnecessary duplication:
OSC collaborates with many community partners to administer the Seven Dimensions of
Wellness. Collaborative partners are organizations such as: The Oshkosh Area tlnited Way
� (VITA tax aides);American Association for Retired Persons (AARP: tax assistance and
informational programming); Fox Valley Technical College (presenters for educational
� programming and sewing program); Lutheran Social Services (information, counseling, and
referral); Winnebago County (meal site and elderly benefit specialist};ADVOCAP (nutrition �
program & RSVP staff on-site); Division of Workforce Development (senior workers); Oshkosh
YMCA music in motion classes held at OSC and taught by Y staff; and many local businesses are
partners in programming such as banks, investment groups, insurance companies, and medical
centers.
We often hear that seniors want to be with their peers and that is why they prefer OSC.
OSC is the only organization serving 50+with all seven dimensions of wellness. OSC is
'affordable, fully-accessible, and on the city bus line. In fact, OSC has arranged for free bus
service for seniors attending OSC. No other organization is providing the diversity and volume
of programming that is available at OSC.
