About American Fidelity Foundation

American Fidelity Foundation’s grantmaking shows a strong commitment to Oklahoma City civic life, with repeated support for United Way of Central Oklahoma, local disaster relief, youth sports, and public-facing cultural and recreation projects. One of the clearest signals is the Foundation’s multi-year campaign pledges to United Way of Central Oklahoma, including grants of $271,760 in 2024 and $257,000 in 2025, alongside earlier support in 2023. The Foundation also funded North OKC Soccer Club Inc. with $275,000 in 2025 for park development and youth soccer programs, matching its broader pattern of investments in places and activities that serve families, students, and community institutions. Beyond those anchors, the Foundation backs organizations that operate in education, food assistance, arts, health research, and senior services. Recent grants include support for American Red Cross disaster relief, Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma food drives, Allied Arts Foundation campaign support, and Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation general financial support. Its giving appears to combine recurring local commitments with selected larger gifts to organizations serving broad community needs. The grant history also includes scholarships and student financial aid, as well as support for theater, music, parks, and nonprofit infrastructure.
