Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation seeks to support partners working on systemic change. Its criminal justice reform focus aims to safely reduce incarceration and the impacts of the criminal legal system through equitable access to services and prevention. Its homelessness focus aims to prevent involvement in the criminal legal, child welfare, and juvenile legal systems by improving access to services for people experiencing homelessness. Its youth welfare and justice focus aims to reduce the impacts of the child welfare and juvenile legal systems and prevent further involvement as youth mature into adulthood.
A 2024 grant recipient, Oklahoma County Diversion Hub, describes its mission as connecting justice-involved individuals to stabilizing resources and services so they can become safe, self-sufficient, and stable members of the community, reducing their contact with the justice system. The Homeless Alliance describes its mission as opening doors to hope, housing, and stability for neighbors experiencing homelessness in central Oklahoma through housing programs, supportive employment, shelter, and collaboration.
Grantmaking
In 2024, the foundation reported six grants totaling $832,249. The grants ranged from $249 to $747,496, with a median grant of $8,896. The largest award was $747,496 to Oklahoma County Diversion Hub for programs serving people in the criminal justice system. The foundation also reported grants to the Hub of $62,758 for legal fees related to a property donation, $13,442 for food incentives for a warrant amnesty program, and $4,350 for gift cards and bus passes. Other reported grants were $3,954 to Homeless Alliance for gift cards supporting a Point In Time Program event and $249 to About Face Women’s Program for its annual website cost.
The foundation says it identifies potential partners through consultation with experts, leaders, and affected communities, and that program staff cultivate and support aligned organizations. Its process describes an introductory meeting, a staff-guided proposal, an initial review, outcome-setting, and a grant application. A proposal should briefly describe the organization, community need, program, goals, strategy, sustainability considerations, and requested amount, and include a project budget showing expenses allocated to the grant. Indirect costs, administrative fees, and overhead are considered case by case; prospective applicants are asked to contact a program officer before submitting a proposal. The foundation may fund some applications through Arnall Community Funds at OCCF, at its discretion.
