Ideal Applicant
A local Oklahoma organization—often faith‑based or education‑oriented—with established community ties and a clear track record of local impact.
Good Fit
- • Based in Oklahoma or serving Oklahoma communities.
- • Faith‑based church, scholarship program, or local community service provider.
- • Existing relationship or referral from a current or past grantee or local civic leader.
- • Capacity to manage either small operational awards or, rarely, very large project grants.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Oklahoma (about 98% of dollars in the latest year) with only a very small out‑of‑state share to Texas, indicating a narrowly local footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct recipients and the three‑year history shows growing recipient counts (5, 7, 11), so the foundation funds a moderate number of independent organizations despite large dollar concentration to one recipient.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (six new recipients in the latest year), but the funder is documented as preselect/invitation‑only and no public application path or contact route was found, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to access funding through an open process.
