This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

  • The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; approach it only through an existing relationship or an invitation.
  • Its stated priority is Tulsa, and its themes are entrepreneurship and innovation and equitable local development, so a group working there on those themes is the closest fit.
  • Typical grants fall between $1,000 and $60,000, the median is $10,000, and half of its grants were $10,000 or less, so a request near $10,000 matches its usual size, though its largest grant was about $145,000.
  • Repeat giving is strong, with 73% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had funded in earlier filings, so it is relationship-led and a first-time applicant should build contact before making any formal request.
