The Albers Family Affiliated Fund focuses on local, community-oriented investments in youth development, education, and basic needs in the Oklahoma City area. Their grants support a mix of nonprofits that serve children and families (both afterschool/youth organizations and services for vulnerable children), community health clinics, arts education, and housing/anti-poverty efforts. They favor established local organizations and civic institutions, often funding program/general support rather than narrowly restricted projects. Repeated multi-year or multi-grant support for the same organizations suggests relationship-driven funding.
Two $20,000 grants to Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, given in both 2023 and 2024, show a funder that returns to the same education-related recipient rather than spreading support thinly. Albers Family Affiliated Fund of Occf Inc uses that kind of repeat giving across a small local portfolio centered on Oklahoma City and nearby communities. The foundation’s recent awards sit mostly at $10,000, with program and general-purpose support appearing alongside more targeted gifts. That mix points to flexible, relationship-based philanthropy rather than one-off project funding. Recent grants also show how the funder moves across several community needs. It supported Variety Care in back-to-back years, with awards for health services and general purposes, and it gave multiple grants to Oklahoma-based organizations serving children, families, and neighborhood institutions. The portfolio includes youth development, education, health care access, housing, arts education, and multipurpose human services. Most grants stayed within Oklahoma, and the recipient list is dominated by Oklahoma City organizations, which fits a local funder working through established nonprofits in the region.
Education appears in several forms. A $10,000 grant to Positive Tomorrows supported an educational institution serving children, and Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation received $20,000 in 2023 and again in 2024 for educational institutions and related activities. The foundation also backed Girl Scouts - Western Oklahoma Inc with $10,000 grants in both 2023 and 2024, linking education to youth leadership and out-of-school development. Health access is another consistent thread. Variety Care received $15,000 in 2023 for health, general and rehabilitative services, followed by $10,000 in 2024 for general purposes. The foundation also gave $10,000 to Children's Health Foundation for medical research. In housing, it supported Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity with $10,000 for housing shelter work. For community and culture, Oklahoma Arts Institute and YWCA of Oklahoma City each received $10,000 grants in 2023 and 2024, showing steady support for arts and multipurpose human services.
Grant size is tightly clustered: the typical award is $10,000, with p25, median, and p75 all at $10,000. That concentration suggests a standardized giving pattern, even though a few grants rise to $15,000 or $20,000. The recent record also shows repeat support across years, especially for Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation, Variety Care, Oklahoma Arts Institute, Girl Scouts - Western Oklahoma Inc, Positive Tomorrows, and YWCA of Oklahoma City. The funder appears to act through an affiliated fund structure tied to OCCF, and the grants shown are mostly program or general-purpose awards rather than highly restricted project-only support.

Moderate number of mid-sized grants ($10k–$40k) concentrated locally; tendency to make repeat grants to the same organizations and provide general/program support rather than tightly restricted project funding. Funding is diversified across youth, health, arts, housing, and family services rather than concentrated in a single issue.
