The Inasmuch Foundation was established in 1982 by Edith Kinney Gaylord, for charitable, scientific and educational purposes. Known as Oklahoma's quiet philanthropist, Ms. Gaylord often made anonymous donations to help those in need. After a lifetime of giving, she formally created two foundations that allowed her contributions to do the most good, for the most people. In doing so, Ms. Gaylord created foundations that would stand the test of time and continue giving long after her death in 2001. The Foundation's team now strives to exceed the expectations established by Ms. Gaylord in 1982 and surpass the benchmark she set with a lifetime of giving.
