Manifest the redeeming love of Christ through whole person care
Butterfield Memorial Foundation uses grantmaking to support whole person care through Christian nonprofit partners, with a visible pattern of backing clinic infrastructure, treatment settings, and pregnancy-related services. Its recent awards show that it often funds capital projects rather than only operating support: a $2,000,000 grant to The Children's Center Inc for a capital campaign, a $1,000,000 grant to Hope Is Alive for a treatment center, and a $520,000 grant to Crossings Community Clinic Inc for a clinic merger. The foundation also funds healthcare delivery tools and facility work for organizations serving underserved patients, including equipment, remodels, expansions, and training. Recent grants reach beyond one type of provider. It supported Heartbeat International for 24 hour nursing and ultrasound services, Good Samaritan Health Services for furniture, equipment, and a clinic remodel, and Crossover Health Services for pharmacy, clinic, and equipment needs. Across the record, the grants point to a funder that combines healthcare ministry, service expansion, and facility development in Oklahoma and beyond.
In healthcare infrastructure, Butterfield Memorial Foundation backs projects that expand access through physical upgrades and equipment. It gave $100,000 to Crossover Health Services for pharmacy and clinic needs, $64,230 to Good Samaritan Health Services for a clinic remodel, and $49,824 to Hope Medical Clinic Inc for equipment. The foundation also supports behavioral health and recovery services. One grant provided $1,000,000 to Hope Is Alive for a treatment center, while another gave $150,000 to Hope Is Alive Ministries Inc for a recovery home. Pregnancy support and related services are another visible focus. Heartbeat International received $400,000 for 24 hour nursing and $98,600 for ultrasound, and Eden's Glory received $102,850 for an office home purchase. Education and training appear as well, including a $430,090 grant to Oakdale Christian Academy Inc for a fitness center and $50,000 to Roberts Wesleyan College for a counseling center.
Typical awards cluster in the five-figure range: p25 is $10,000, median is $17,330, and p75 is $38,962. The recent record also includes a smaller number of very large capital grants, which pulls the average above the median. The foundation operates as a regular funder and accepts unsolicited applications through its grant gateway and related programs. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Heartbeat International, Crossover Health Services, Good Samaritan Health Services, Gracemed Health Clinic Inc, and Oakdale Christian Academy Inc, suggesting repeat relationships rather than one-time awards only. Its active programs also include fiscal sponsorship and donor-advised fund services, alongside grantmaking.
