Funder intelligence
The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation (OLDCC), formerly OEA, consistently focuses on assisting communities impacted by Department of Defense activities. Recent trends emphasize enhancing community resilience, fostering economic diversification in defense-dependent areas, and supporting critical infrastructure that benefits both military installations and the surrounding local populations, often in response to evolving national security landscapes and strategic defense shifts.
Proposals are typically reviewed by program staff for statutory compliance and alignment with national defense priorities and community needs. Evaluation often includes assessing project feasibility, community impact, and the long-term sustainability of proposed solutions.
