Ideal Applicant
Small local education or community organizations in Ada, Oklahoma (schools, PTA, community garden or market groups) seeking modest, project‑level support.
Good Fit
- • Based in or serving Ada/Oklahoma with clear local impact.
- • Project budgets and requests in the small grants range (under $5K).
- • Work in K–12 education, student travel/learning experiences, community gardens, or farmer’s market programming.
- • Existing local credibility or introduction from known community actors or prior grantees.
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in a single state (all grants recorded in Oklahoma, primarily Ada) despite the foundation’s Colorado address, indicating a narrow geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only one recipient, but across the two observed years the foundation funded several distinct local organizations (three recipients in 2022 and a different single recipient in 2023), indicating a small but not exclusively captive recipient set.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates grants are made to preselected applicants only and there is no public application path or contact information in filings; direct evidence that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio is therefore limited.
