The Women’s Foundation of Oklahoma (WFO) has opened its 2025 grant cycle, offering funding opportunities of up to $25,000 for projects that advance the wellbeing of women and girls across the state. The foundation is dedicated to supporting programs that not only raise awareness about issues affecting women but also drive systemic change through collaborative, cross-sector initiatives. Applications opened on September 8, 2025, and will be accepted through October 6, 2025.
This year's funding priorities emphasize partnerships that bring together community organizations, nonprofit agencies, and educational institutions to scale impact and deliver sustainable outcomes. The foundation is particularly interested in projects that demonstrate the power of collaboration to address persistent challenges in areas such as education, health, economic security, and social justice for women and girls in Oklahoma.
Eligible applicants must meet two key criteria: they must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in good standing with the IRS or a recognized institution of higher education, and they must have had a representative attend the 2025 WFO Convening. This requirement ensures applicants are aligned with the foundation’s strategic vision and are part of the engaged network of stakeholders committed to advancing gender equity in the region.
Grant awards may be used to support a variety of initiatives including program implementation, community outreach, training, and partnership development, so long as the primary beneficiaries are women and girls. While the exact number of grants to be awarded has not been disclosed, the funding limit per award is set at $25,000.
All applications must be submitted by October 6, 2025. Additional application guidelines and submission instructions are made available through WFO's grant portal or direct communication following the convening. The foundation will review proposals based on relevance to mission, collaborative structure, potential impact, and organizational capacity.
Through this grant cycle, the Women’s Foundation of Oklahoma reaffirms its commitment to lifting the voices and improving the lives of women and girls throughout the state, while fostering a culture of partnership and shared accountability.
Ensure your application demonstrates cross-sector collaboration. Emphasize statewide impact and strategic alignment with WFO’s mission.
