Questions and answers
- What does it mean for grant money to stay in-state?
- It is the share of grants made by funders based in Oklahoma that reached organizations also located in Oklahoma, rather than organizations in other states. A high share means local funders mostly back local causes; a low one means the money largely leaves.
- Is Oklahoma a major grantmaking state?
- Oklahoma ranks 33rd of the 52 states and territories by grant dollars from resident funders. The largest grantmaking states are California and New York; the most outward, where money mostly leaves, are domiciles like Delaware.
- How can a nonprofit find funders in Oklahoma?
- Start with the largest grantmakers based in Oklahoma, currently Tulsa Community Foundation and George Kaiser Family Foundation. Out-of-state funders also reach in, led by Natl Christian Charitable Fdn Inc. Oklahoma funds crime and legal above the national rate, so funders active there are worth approaching.
- How recent is this Oklahoma grant data?
- It is read from IRS Form 990 and 990-PF e-file filings for fiscal years 2022 and 2023, the two years with complete coverage. US charity filings lag 12 to 24 months, so this is the most recent complete picture.
