The Tahlequah Community Fund (TCF) is currently seeking grant requests from Tahlequah area organizations. Before applying, it is strongly encouraged that potential applicants review grant guidelines and policies here.

TCF encourages grant applications that address any of a broad-array of community interests including arts, education, culture, health and wellness, community beautification and development, leadership, conservation, and human services. Projects focused on youth education and development will be given priority consideration. Grant request proposals may NOT exceed $3500.

Additional special consideration is given to projects and activities that:
– Are sustainable over time
– Demonstrate innovation
– Are responsive to emerging or changing community needs
– Leverage other sources of support (i.e., funds or volunteers)
– Facilitate community collaboration, cooperation, and leadership
– Improve the quality and/or scope of other charitable works in the community

TCF does not make grants for proposals covering administrative costs, training, endowments, capital campaigns, membership dues, fundraising, in support of individuals, or to religious organizations in support of religious activities.

Entities eligible to receive grants are restricted to charitable organizations recognized as exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code, public schools, and governmental entities.

If you have questions about eligibility or grant guidelines, please contact Sidney Suttles at ssuttles@cfok.org or 405-488-1450. You may also view grant guidelines by clicking here.

The Tahlequah Public Schools Foundation is currently seeking grant requests from teachers within the Tahlequah Public School District for classroom enhancement.

The mission of the Tahlequah Public Schools Foundation is to encourage the local community to support our education system, to secure contributions, and to distribute funds and equipment for the educational benefit of our students.

Our Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) do not currently accept unsolicited grant requests. Instead, our team of professionals works closely with DAF advisors to identify specific interests and conduct necessary due diligence before grant decisions are finalized.  We are eager to share brief updates of charitable work through our Oklahoma Stories blog.

If your nonprofit organization would like to be included in future blog posts, please send your mission statement, a photo or video link, and a compelling paragraph about your organization’s accomplishments to Teresa Rose, Executive Director, via email.
