Education

Alongside local and national funders, the State and Greater Oklahoma City Chambers, and in deep partnership with Fuel OKC, Inasmuch Foundation is supporting efforts to increase access to high‑quality public education options in Oklahoma City. Grantmaking will prioritize coordination, shared learning, and strategies with data-driven student success.

Human Services

Human services grantmaking will be accomplished through strategic partnerships with the state of Oklahoma, City of Oklahoma City, Key to Home, and Healthy Minds Policy Initiative. This approach emphasizes collaboration, public-private partnership, and systems-level coordination that support stability and access to care.

Journalism

In a period of transition away from a national grantmaking scope, Inasmuch will concentrate journalism funding within Oklahoma to maximize local impact. Specific strategies and outcomes will be developed collaboratively with journalism partners and stakeholders across the state to ensure a sustainable, high‑quality information landscape for Oklahomans.
