Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized nonprofits, especially local human‑service organizations (food banks, shelters, refugee assistance) with an established presence in Oklahoma, seeking modest general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Established operational presence in Oklahoma or close local ties
- • Focus on human services, food security, homeless services, or refugee relief
- • Requests for general operating support or modest program grants ($1K–$10K)
- • Existing relationship or referral into the foundation's local network
- • Track record of stable service delivery and local community impact
Geography
Giving is concentrated in the foundation's home state, with about two‑thirds of dollars staying in Oklahoma despite a small number of out‑of‑state grants across three states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 27 distinct recipients (and a similar count the prior year), showing a broad set of independent nonprofits rather than a tiny closed circle, even though many recipients are repeat grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation states it only funds preselected applicants and only about three new recipients appeared in the most recent year; while a contact route exists, behavioral evidence points to a largely invitation/relationship‑driven entry process.
