Equal opportunity for all

Together with the community, GKFF redefines what's possible - empowering children through education, strengthening family well-being and revitalizing neighborhoods to create a thriving, vibrant city for everyone.

40,000 low-income children and their families receive year-round support through GKFF-supported initiatives.

Early Childhood Development and Education

The first years of life lay the foundation for a child’s future. Quality early learning experiences during the critical years from birth to age four unlock a lifetime of potential.
A transformative shift: Since 2009, Tulsa County has seen a 72% decrease in the number of women sent to prison, thanks to groundbreaking efforts to break the cycle of incarceration.

Community Well-being and Justice

Community programs that focus on health care, social services and justice reform are breaking barriers and building hope, giving families the chance to thrive.
GKFF-supported programs are revitalizing housing, public spaces and education, while enriching the cultural heart of Tulsa’s north, east and Kendall-Whittier neighborhoods.

Strong Neighborhoods

Thriving neighborhoods are more than just places to live, they are spaces where families have equal opportunities to grow and succeed.

City Vibrancy

From the arts to innovation, Tulsa’s dynamic public spaces and diverse businesses are shaping a brighter, more prosperous future.
“My charitable interest is almost entirely an evidence-based, operational involvement in finally fulfilling the American commitment to equal opportunity for young children, despite their unequal circumstances of birth.”
