About Us
The Ozaukee Nonprofit Center (ONC) strengthens our community by providing shared space, capacity-building programs, and essential direct services.
We offer affordable co-working meeting spaces, event rentals, and collaboration space to nonprofits and mission-driven organizations — creating a dynamic environment where partnerships and ideas thrive.
Through professional development programs and networking event, the ONC supports nonprofit staff, volunteers, and boards in growing their organizations and increasing their community impact.
We also deliver vital services directly to the public through programs like Volunteer Ozaukee, the Ozaukee Community Baby Bank, and our new (coming soon) Telehealth Access Center — connecting individuals, families, and volunteers to resources they need.

A generous (and wishes to remain anonymous) family donation began construction of a new center at 885 Badger Circle in Grafton, WI to allow for increased space and additional agencies to join.

The agencies officially moved into the United Way Family Enrichment Center building (UWFEC) at 885 Badger Circle in Grafton.
