McCasland Foundation Grant

The McCasland Foundation, founded in 1950 by T.H. McCasland, focuses on giving back to the community, primarily in Oklahoma. With assets exceeding $35 million, it supports education, cultural organizations, and community projects, emphasizing special initiatives in public schools and universities. The foundation is now also considering grant requests from Louisiana. Its mission reflects a long-standing commitment to enhancing local opportunities and fostering generosity through targeted funding.

The McCasland Foundation was established on December 26, 1950, by T.H. McCasland, founder of Mack Energy Co. His philosophy, adopted by his children and grandchildren, views granting money as giving back to the community the opportunities and generosity received. The current trustees include all family members from the second and third generations.
The Foundation started with $500 in assets and has a perpetual existence. In almost 60 years, the Foundation has grown to assets of over $35 million. The Foundation grants money almost exclusively in the state of Oklahoma and concentrates its efforts in the Southwest region of the state. It is beginning to be open to grant requests in Louisiana. The main areas of interest are education, primarily special projects for public schools and universities including numerous scholarship funds, cultural organizations and community-based organizations.
