PROJECT SUPPORT SMALL GRANTS (up to $10,000)

GUIDELINES

Requests for individual projects, programs and capital projects will be considered in this category. Requests for General Operating Support must be submitted in the General Operating Support Category.

Organizations are required to submit their Project Support request online. Please contact us at (405)767-3702 to request the online application link.

DEADLINES

Project Support Small Grants ($10,000 or less) have no set deadline. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis and held for consideration at a scheduled quarterly Grants Committee meeting. Grant requests in this category received in the same month of the trustee meeting may not be considered until the subsequent quarterly meeting, however, every effort will be made to process grant applications that are received after the cut-off date in a timely fashion. This will be based on the staff’s ability to process the application within the time frame of the various meeting schedules.

All organizations interested in submitting a grant request are strongly encouraged to contact the Kirkpatrick Family Fund two to three months prior to the application deadline. This allows time to discuss the organization’s goals, provide guidance and any needed technical assistance in developing the grant.
