Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Oklahoma-based nonprofit (arts, faith-based, education, or community service) seeking modest general operating support and local, relationship-driven funders.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Oklahoma and serves the local metro/community.
- • Request is for general operating or unrestricted support in the $500–$7,000 range.
- • Applicant has local visibility or existing relationships with foundation leadership or community intermediaries.
- • Mission aligns with previously funded sectors (arts & culture, churches, community centers, education).
Geography
Observed giving across 2022–2024 was entirely within Oklahoma, with every recorded grant made to in-state organizations.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct independent grantees and prior years included more (11 in 2022), spanning arts, churches, education and community groups; dollar awards are concentrated but the roster is moderately diverse for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new grantees exists (four new recipients in 2024), but the foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants and no public application route is visible, suggesting entry is by invitation/nomination rather than open solicitation.
