Meeting essential needs

Tulsans, especially those living in low-income and historically underserved communities, struggle with meeting their most basic needs.

Diminished access to essential services and resources like bill assistance, food, and housing, perpetuates poverty.

GKFF provides approximately $7 million in annual support to more than 70 nonprofit agencies serving the immediate needs of children and families living in poverty in the Tulsa area.

These nonprofits provide a range of services and programming to meet emergency needs like food, housing and rental assistance, behavioral health and crisis intervention, health care, youth development and more.

Through these investments, GKFF builds relationships and familiarity with local organizations, collaborating with them to improve access to services. Our approach helps:

Sustain high levels of community support services and the delivery of resources to Tulsans
Support organizations in efforts to access government funding opportunities, drawing down more available resources for communities in need
Fund efforts to assist with enrollment in Medicaid, as well as services like SNAP benefits in Oklahoma
