The McGee Foundation Inc
The McGee Foundation Inc was a private foundation based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Its filings report grants to organizations working in reproductive health, foster-care support, community philanthropy, arts, and other areas. The foundation’s 2025 filing is marked as its final return and states that it dissolved on March 3, 2026, after reorganizing into three separate private foundations. It therefore appears to have wound down and stopped grantmaking under this name.
