What Osteopathic Founders Foundation does
Mission
The mission of the Osteopathic Founders Foundation is to support osteopathic medical education, to enhance the public's understanding of osteopathic medicine, and to improve the health of the community through projects consistent with the osteopathic philosophy.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Community grants are an important part of the work of the Osteopathic Founders Foundation. Since the sale of our hospital in 1996, the foundation's trustees have focused on utilizing our resources in a manner consistent with the founder's original intent. Grants are awarded to community organizations who share in our mission of providing care to the underserved and in the prevention and treatment of disease. With the significant health disparities existing within oklahoma communities, particular emphasis is given to the most basic needs of food, safety and shelter. Oklahoma's poor ratings for the health of our citizens demand that many of our resources be directed to the support of basic nutrition services to improve the health status of those struggling with food vulnerability. Multiple grants were provided to food distribution charities throughout the greater tulsa area. A particularly vulnerable group, infants and children, were provided specialty infant formula through our $10,000 grant to emergency infant services and another to south tulsa community house. Special weekend "take home" packs through our $5000 grant supporting the food for kids program at food bank of eastern…

At the pre-doctoral level, two scholarships are awarded to osteopathic medical students at oklahoma state university college of osteopathic medicine based on academic achievement, professional ambassadorship, and community engagement. Other scholarships are granted at osu which recognize leadership ability as well as medical research accomplishments. All of these awards assist students with the cost of tuition, fees, and books. Two additional scholarships, one recognizing the role of women in medicine and one encouraging careers in preventative medicine are granted with the assistance of the student osteopathic medical association foundation to students from medical schools across the country. Grants were also made to the osu foundation, the oklahoma educational foundation for osteopathic medicine, the student osteopathic medical association foundation, and the american osteopathic foundation to support their medical student scholarship programs. For those young physicians in post-graduate training, the foundation offers two programs. Each resident and fellow…
$368,510 spentof which $184,381 as grants$31,096 earned by the program35% of program spendingHeart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women of most racial and ethnic groups in the united states. In the us, someone will suffer a heart attack every 40 seconds. Annually, more than 805,000 people in this county have a heart attack with more than 600,000 of those being a first heart attack. There are around 60,000 cases of cardiac arrest in the us every year but fewer than 1 in 10 patients survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Immediate initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) can at least double survival of such an event and defibrillation within 3 - 5 minutes of collapse can produce more improved survival rates. Cardiac arrests that occur outside the hospital are significantly more deadly than in-hospital cardiac arrests. A public health issue, in addition to our support of the american heart association, the foundation has chosen to address the need for continued training of health professionals by establishing an emergency cardiovascular care training site accredited by the aha. Training in advanced cardiovascular life support, pediatric advanced life support and basic life support for healthcare providers is offered for physicians and other…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $25M to $22M (−13%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
13% of Osteopathic Founders Foundation’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $34k → $1k.
1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Osteopathic Founders Foundation’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Osteopathic Founders Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 64% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
81% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Osteopathic Founders Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 76% · 2018 81% · 2019 81% · 2020 100% · 2021 82% · 2022 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
87% of Osteopathic Founders Foundation's grant income comes from Oklahoma funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
