Welcome to the Kirkpatrick Foundation. A family foundation located in northwest Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the Foundation  honors a 50-year tradition of giving. Founded in 1955 by John and Eleanor Kirkpatrick, the Foundation provides project support or general operating support through grants, for non-profit organizations in three major areas including: Arts and Culture, Education, Animal Concerns and Environmental Conservation-natural, man-made and the built environment.

Governed by a board of trustees and responding to some 100 grant requests each year, the Foundation also gives attention to emerging issues such as arts integration, creativity and environmental education through its own initiatives. Institutional research and/or seed grants to organizations in the interest areas, along with strategic partnerships, further support the Foundation's mission. The Kirkpatrick Foundation distributes approximately two million dollars annually, primarily in Central Oklahoma. By the end of 2007, the market value of assests totaled $35,594,630.

The Foundation welcomes inquiries and preliminary discussions in the stated interest areas to explore projects that may be appropriate for support.
