ABOUT THE FOUNDATION:

Toward the end of 1998, several charitably-minded leaders came together to help create the George Kaiser Family Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity organized to receive, administer and distribute gifts from individuals and organizations for the improvement of the Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma area. Our Foundation is a collection of many charitable funds varying in size from $5,000 to multiple millions of dollars. Each fund has its own identity and benefits from being invested with other funds to create a lasting community resource. Currently, the foundation manages over $4.4 billion among over 800 individual philanthropic funds. Staff members work daily with nonprofit agencies, corporations, individuals, government officials, and community leaders to provide superior service to the citizens of Tulsa and eastern Oklahoma, as well as to increase the charitable dollars contributed to our community.
