Mission & Focus Areas

The foundation’s mission is to serve its donors’ charitable purposes and the charitable needs of the Oklahoma City area through the development and administration of endowments and other charitable funds, with the goal of preserving capital and enhancing value. Its stated goals include helping donors contribute to charitable purposes, encouraging funds that benefit the community over time, and developing community endowments to respond to changing needs.

Its Community Grants program includes Access to Health Care, Opportunities for Children, Culture & Community, and Services for Older Adults. The foundation’s grant opportunities page also lists Parks & Public Space Initiative and Animal Welfare. Program guidelines and eligibility are based on donor intent. Its 2024 filing also describes grants for emerging community issues and projects to beautify public land, particularly public parks, as well as scholarship initiatives and support for nonprofit endowments.

The foundation’s 2025 grants included support for organizations with varied missions. Neighborhood Services Organization says it works to encourage independence through safe, healthy homes, dental care and nutrition. Oklahoma Blood Institute describes its role as meeting blood transfusion and health care needs. Oklahoma County Diversion Hub says it connects justice-involved people to stabilizing services. These are grantees’ stated missions, not the foundation’s.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2025, the foundation reported 698 grants totaling $63,333,120. Individual grants ranged from $5,094 to $7 million, with a median of $18,251. Separately, its website reports that its Community Grant Programs awarded $12.2 million to 210 organizations in FY25 and served 3.6 million people. That figure covers the Community Grant Programs, rather than the full grant total reported in the filing.

The largest listed 2025 grants included $7 million to Stafford Air and Space Museum Foundation; $3,854,476 to Neighborhood Services Organization Inc; $3,224,647 to Nexus Animals; $1,622,180 to Oklahoma Blood Institute; and $1,548,532 to Community Resources Real Estate. All were listed for general purposes. The foundation’s filing reports that 93% of 2025 grant dollars went to recipients in Oklahoma.

The website lists Community Grant Programs for Opportunities for Children, Culture & Community, and Services for Older Adults as currently open. Published award ranges are $0–$40,000 for Opportunities for Children and $0–$30,000 for Culture & Community; no award range is provided for Services for Older Adults. Applications are reviewed by community volunteers with relevant focus-area expertise, and trustees approve funding recommendations. The 2024 filing describes grant-disbursement due diligence that includes collecting documentation of public-charity status, board information, current financial information and program information, and checking that grants do not benefit donors or other disqualified persons, individuals, or non-charitable purposes.
