The Robert A Peterson Family Foundation
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting charitable causes. Its mission appears to focus on community service and animal welfare, as evidenced by its grants to organizations such as the Tulsa Community Foundation and the Oklahoma Westie Rescue Foundation. The foundation primarily serves local communities by providing general contributions to support various initiatives. It operates within a limited financial scope, reflecting a commitment to targeted giving rather than broad-based funding.

Ideal Applicant
A very small, in-state nonprofit or a local intermediary (for example a community foundation or small animal-welfare group) seeking modest general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Oklahoma and serving local community needs.
- • Small funding need in the low hundreds to low thousands.
- • Work in community service or animal welfare, matching past recipients.
- • Existing relationship or referral from local intermediaries or other funders.
Geography
Observed giving is confined to a single state (both grants in Oklahoma), with all recorded dollars going in-state.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year there was only one recipient, and across the two years observed there were only two distinct grantees in total; the observed recipient set is therefore very small.
New Applicants
The foundation’s filings indicate it only funds preselected applicants and no public application or contact route is listed; although different recipients appear in different years, the selection appears invitation-driven and unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain access.
