Focus Areas

Community Enhancement

Inasmuch Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the vibrancy and quality of life in Oklahoma City by fostering cultural experiences, supporting the arts, and promoting community engagement. 

Priorities in Community Enhancement

The Foundation seeks to strengthen Oklahoma City’s neighborhoods and shared spaces, fostering a vibrant, connected community where residents and visitors alike can thrive.

Note: Arts education is no longer a strategic priority, and proposals are unlikely to be funded.

  • Inasmuch Foundation is committed to enhancing the vibrancy of Oklahoma City. The 2028 Olympics present a unique opportunity to showcase the community on a global stage. The Foundation will invest in Arts & Humanities organizations that strengthen the cultural fabric of Oklahoma City for the Olympics and beyond. A Request for Proposal will be issued in 2026.

  • The Foundation invests in Oklahoma City’s districts and parks to create vibrant, welcoming spaces that foster connection, celebrate local culture, and showcase public art and cultural experiences. These efforts attract visitors, support local businesses, and strengthen community life while fueling economic growth and civic pride.

  • Developing strong leaders is vital to building resilient, thriving communities. When individuals are equipped to lead, collaborate, and advocate effectively, communities are better prepared to navigate challenges, increase civic participation, and drive lasting positive change.
