Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Community Grants program has supported central Oklahoma’s most pressing needs for decades. Today, the program includes targeted funding opportunities in six key areas: Opportunities for Children, Access to Health Care, Parks and Public Spaces, Culture and Community, Services for Older Adults, and Animal Welfare. We appreciate and acknowledge every individual, family, and organization that has made these grants possible.

Each grant area is guided by specific eligibility criteria based on donor intent.

Grant applications are thoughtfully reviewed by a team of community volunteers with expertise in each focus area. Final funding decisions are approved by the Oklahoma City Community Foundation Trustees.

The Oklahoma City Community Foundation is proud to administer grants through these regional partners, widening our impact statewide.
