Announcing $5.79 Million in Fall 2025 Grants
Through the Fall 2025 grant cycle, Inasmuch Foundation has distributed $5.79 million to 43 nonprofit organizations advancing Community Enhancement, Education, Human Services, and Journalism (grantee list below). This cycle’s funding reflects Inasmuch Foundation’s broad commitment to strengthening communities across Oklahoma City – through innovative education programs, vibrant cultural spaces, responsive human services, and trustworthy local journalism.
“Across this grant cycle, we saw remarkable examples of collaboration and creativity,” said Bob Ross, Chairman and CEO of Inasmuch Foundation. “Oklahoma City’s nonprofit sector continues to lead with compassion – finding practical solutions to complex challenges and building stronger, more connected communities in the process.”
Together, Education and Human Services represented 73% of the cycle’s total funding, underscoring community priorities identified through Inasmuch Foundation’s biennial listening sessions with nonprofit and civic leaders.
“Inasmuch Foundation’s support extends far beyond grantmaking,” said Salvador Ontiveros, President & CEO of the Latino Community Development Agency. “The team consistently shows up as a true thought partner — listening, collaborating, and helping the Agency advance work that strengthens families across our community.”
In addition to these areas, this cycle’s grants also strengthen access to arts and cultural programming, foster expanded engagement across neighborhoods, and invest in nonprofit and local journalism that builds informed communities.
Together, these investments reflect founder Edith Kinney Gaylord’s commitment to improving the quality of life in Oklahoma.
