Key takeaways

Your work fits if it is in Oklahoma and serves health, Catholic services or youth, and the foundation will not consider individuals, for-profit organisations, organisations headquartered outside Oklahoma, or groups that received a grant within the past year.
A modest request suits it best: half of its 55 grants to organisations were $2,500 or less, and the median was $2,500, although most grants fall between $100 and $200,000 and its largest was $2,000,000.
Its giving has fallen each year, to $252,000 paid in the latest filing, and 85% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded in earlier filings, so expect a competitive process that leans towards repeat grantees.
Apply online through the portal before a fixed deadline, knowing that decisions come electronically about 60 to 90 days later and that deadlines may vary from year to year, so confirm the current cycle before you plan.
If you are funded, you will need to meet its reporting requirements and timelines.

Overview

Tom and Judy Love Foundation is a US private foundation based in Oklahoma City, OK.

What they fund

Profile derived from the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) and its website, with every statement checked against those sources. Sources read on 7 October 2026.

Priority Areas

The foundation focuses its giving on health, Catholic services and youth, aiming to improve lives across Oklahoma. It supports local non-profit organisations working in its three focal areas: health, Catholic ministries and organisations fostering the local Catholic community, and work that improves young people’s lives, education and well-being. It invites organisations whose work aligns with its mission and grant guidelines to apply for consideration by its Board of Directors. A grantmaking committee reviews applications using a standardised process, with decisions made collectively rather than by any single individual. Funded projects are subject to reporting requirements and timelines.
