Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Early childhood programs for Tulsa families, branded BEST
  • Two-generation family support: home visiting, doulas, maternal mental health
  • Criminal justice diversion and reentry, especially for women
  • Affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization in north Tulsa
  • Workforce training, adult education, and job placement
  • Immigrant, refugee, and Spanish-speaking family services in Tulsa

Typical grant

Median grant is $50,000 with the middle half between $15,000 and $157,000, so most checks are modest. The money concentrates violently at the top: a single $20.1 million grant to Community Action Project of Tulsa and a $10.75 million Choice Neighborhoods housing award dwarf everything else, and seven-figure grants cluster among long-standing operating partners like Parent Child Center, Family and Children's Services, and Tulsa Community Foundation. Giving repeats heavily year over year, with the same institutions returning for renewed program grants labeled FY24 and FY25.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • General Operating
  • Program Grant FY25
  • SSSN Programmatic Funding
  • Capital Campaign

Positioning adjacent work

  • Tie the work to the BEST early childhood portfolio: home visiting, literacy, family advocacy, or maternal health.
  • Ask in the $150,000 to $450,000 range for a first program grant; seven figures goes to established partners.
  • Name Tulsa explicitly and show services delivered to Tulsa residents, not statewide or national scope.
  • Frame evaluation and data capacity as part of the ask; they fund studies, ImpactTulsa, and national evaluations.

Worth knowing: This is a Tulsa foundation in the strictest sense: 1,282 of 1,393 grants went to Oklahoma recipients, and the out-of-state ones (Reach Out and Read, Start Early, FII National, Endeavor NWA) are almost all funding Tulsa-based operations. Tulsa Community Foundation functions as a fiscal and administrative arm, receiving many separate grants including admin fees, so a lot of dollars route through it rather than reflecting independent grantmaking decisions.
