Ideal Applicant
A small, local Oklahoma nonprofit (especially in Tonkawa/Kay County) focused on education/scholarships, community service clubs, faith-based activities, or child welfare seeking modest, one-time donations or scholarship support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Tonkawa, Ponca City, or Kay County, Oklahoma.
- • Operates a scholarship program or partners with the local college.
- • Is a local church, community service club, school, hospice, or child-welfare agency.
- • Can be introduced by a past grantee, local leader, or community contact.
- • Seeks modest grants (typically below about $10,000) for defined activities.
Geography
Grant activity is geographically narrow: in 2024 all grants and dollars went to Oklahoma recipients, with giving concentrated in Tonkawa and nearby towns.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a modestly diverse local portfolio (10 distinct recipients and 12 grants), and similar recipient counts in prior years, though dollars are financially concentrated among a few top recipients (top five captured 94% in 2024).
New Applicants
Filings and the foundation's application metadata state grants are to preselected recipients and there is no public submission route; although multiple new grantees appear in recent years (e.g., 6 new recipients in 2024), that turnover looks driven by internal selection rather than an open application process, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to enter without referral.
