Inasmuch Foundation Welcomes Community Fellowship Class of 2026

Inasmuch Foundation is excited to welcome the 2026 Community Fellowship Class, a group of 32 emerging leaders who are kicking off a summer of service.

The cohort gathered for Orientation on Thursday, May 28 at The Verge in the Citizen. Fellows spent the day getting acquainted, exploring their individual leadership strengths through the CliftonStrengths assessment, and learning how to serve as thoughtful ambassadors for the work they and their organizations do in the community.

A highlight of the day was a panel conversation moderated by Inasmuch Foundation Chairman and CEO Bob Ross, featuring three respected Oklahoma City community leaders: Vanessa Morrison of Open Design Collective, Jonathan Veal of RestoreOKC, and Sunny Cearley of Allied Arts. Together, they reflected on the legacy of Inasmuch Foundation founder Edith Kinney Gaylord and how her vision for a more connected, vibrant Oklahoma City continues to drive the community forward today.

Meet the full Class of 2026 below, and follow Inasmuch Foundation on Instagram throughout the summer to hear directly from Fellows about the work they're doing and the organizations they serve.
