    About Mccrory Foundation

    The McCrory Foundation’s recent giving shows a clear pattern of backing community infrastructure in Ardmore and Carter County, especially where a facility, service line, or staffing commitment helps a nonprofit deliver basic needs, health, or education programs. Its largest documented recent grant was $300,000 to Ardmore Soup Kitchen for a new building purchase, signaling a willingness to fund major capital needs rather than only annual operations. That same approach appears in other gifts across the recent grant list. The foundation gave $100,000 to Lighthouse Behavioral Wellness Center as the final installment on a pledged building project, and another $100,000 to Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore Inc for cancer center linear accelerator replacement. It also supported Oak Hall Episcopal School with multiple grants for a learning support specialist and speech therapy program, including a $97,500 award in 2025. Recent awards also reach food distribution, trauma counseling, case management, and transportation, but the center of gravity remains local and highly targeted. Across the 2023–2025 grants on file, the foundation’s pattern is not broad national philanthropy; it is concentrated, place-based support for organizations serving residents of southern Oklahoma.

    What Mccrory Foundation Funds

    Basic-needs services are a major thread in the McCrory Foundation’s giving. It awarded $83,458 to Naomi House Inc for a kitchen remodel project and $60,000 to Food & Resource Center of South Central Oklahoma for operational support, both tied to food access and service capacity. Health and behavioral services also appear prominently. Mercy Health Foundation Ardmore Inc received $100,000 for cancer center linear accelerator replacement, while Lighthouse Behavioral Wellness Center received $54,750 for general operating and $45,000 for salary support for its education hub. Education-related grants include $97,500 to Oak Hall Episcopal School for a learning support specialist and speech therapy program, plus $75,000 to A Reading Inc for partial payment of therapists’ salaries and mentoring. Community support extends beyond schools and clinics: Family Shelter of Southern Oklahoma received $50,000 for a trauma counseling program, and Southern Oklahoma Ambulance Service received $50,000 for operating support.

    How Mccrory Foundation Gives

    The foundation’s typical grant size is $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $20,000 at the median, and $40,000 at the 75th percentile, even though individual awards in the recent list range much higher for capital and special-project needs. The grant list shows repeated support for the same organizations across multiple years, including Oak Hall Episcopal School, Lighthouse Behavioral Wellness Center, Grace Center of Southern Oklahoma, and Food & Resource Center of South Central Oklahoma. That points to a recurring relationship model rather than one-off gifts. The foundation makes direct grants to qualified 501(c)(3) organizations, and its active programs are described as quarterly review cycles with unsolicited applications accepted.
