PROJECT SUPPORT LARGE GRANTS ($10,001 to $100,000)

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

Due to the increased number of both applications and special initiatives, the Kirkpatrick Family Fund has decided to make changes to our grant deadlines effective January 1, 2012. Large Grants will be accepted on March 1 and September 1, or the first business day after the deadline. (Due to the weekend and Labor Day holiday the 2012 fall deadline will be September 4) Applications must be submitted by midnight the date of the deadline. NOTE: There is no longer a June 1 deadline.

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 organizations goals, provide guidance and any needed technical assistance in developing the grant.
