Does Inasmuch Foundation serve a specific geographic area?

For grantmaking within the Community & Civic Engagement, Education, and Human Services focus areas, Inasmuch Foundation’s geographic priority is the Oklahoma City. It is very unlikely for us to fund organizations outside of the Oklahoma City core. For Journalism grantmaking, Inasmuch Foundation supports nonprofit journalism organizations nationwide. 

The person who submitted our request documents is no longer with our organization. How can I gain access to his/her online account?

How do I apply for an event sponsorship?

The sponsorship application is available here. Organizations will be limited to a single sponsorship request in a 12-month period. Organizations planning to submit a grant request and a sponsorship request should include the sponsorship request within the grant application.
