Inasmuch Foundation Grants

Sponsorships is a funding opportunity from the Inasmuch Foundation that provides financial support for community events and initiatives in Central Oklahoma aligned with the foundation's mission. Unlike the foundation's standard grant cycles, sponsorship requests are event-specific and must be submitted at least three months before the event through the foundation's online grant portal. Organizations may submit one sponsorship request and one grant request per 12-month period. The foundation prioritizes Community Enhancement, Education, Human Services, and Journalism. Sponsorship requests are submitted separately from grant applications. The foundation's open grant cycles have deadlines of February 15 and August 15; the August 15, 2026 deadline applies to the fall 2026 cycle.
