Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation’s stated mission is to inspire generosity leading to endowments and charitable funds supporting parishes, schools, and other ministries of the Catholic Church in central and western Oklahoma.

Its grants support parishes, missions, apostolates, Catholic schools, and other ministries serving the Archdiocese of an individual recipient Listed grant areas include parish ministry, evangelization, Catholic education, faith formation, youth programs, Respect Life initiatives, and outreach activities. The Foundation’s website describes its grantmaking as guided by the Archbishop’s Vision 2030 pastoral plan.
Some 2025 grantees’ own descriptions illustrate the range of organizations supported. Vagabond Missions describes its work as Catholic youth ministry in urban communities; Willow Pregnancy Support says it serves women and families facing unplanned pregnancies; and The Academy of Classical Christian Studies describes its work as providing classical Christian education to children from pre-K through 12th grade.
