About Ok Foundation
OK Foundation’s grantmaking is built around improving children’s lives through vetted partner organizations, with support that reaches health care, education, play, protection, and disaster recovery. Its recent awards show a strong tilt toward unrestricted support for nonprofits working with children, alongside larger project grants and strategic funding tied to the foundation’s named pillars. Among the largest recent grants, the foundation gave $1,000,000 to Dandelion Media for general support and $885,000 to Vatican Human Fraternity for general support. Other sizable awards went to Mentors International in Draper, Utah, for general support and to A Act of Love Adoptions Agency in Sandy, Utah, also for general support. The pattern suggests a funder that relies on direct partnerships rather than open applications, and that uses flexible funding to back organizations already aligned with its mission. The foundation’s work includes both broad child-focused grantmaking and more targeted support through its Play, Heal, Hope, Dream, and Achieve pillars. Recent grants also include organizations working in surgery, community rebuilding, psychosocial support, and school-related projects, all within a child-centered framework.
What Ok Foundation Funds
In child health and surgical care, OK Foundation gave $200,000 to Maliheh Free Clinic for general support and $102,078 to Ronald McDonald House Charities for general support. Those awards fit a long-running health-oriented strand of the foundation’s mission, which also includes medical treatment and health services for children. Education appears through both direct support and project-oriented grants. The foundation gave $260,000 to Weber State University for general support and $128,205 to The Magic In Learning Foundation for general support. It also supported learning-focused work at Learning Frequency with a $100,000 grant. For community rebuilding and relief, OK Foundation awarded $200,000 to August Mission for humanitarian relief and $100,000 to Common Ground Community Development Corp for general support. Its focus areas also include child protection, play-based education, and psychosocial support, which align with the foundation’s child-centered pillar structure.
How Ok Foundation Gives
OK Foundation’s recent grant sizes cluster around a wide middle range: the 25th percentile is $18,000, the median is $50,000, and the 75th percentile is $128,205. That spread sits alongside several much larger awards, showing a mix of mid-sized operating support and high-dollar general support grants. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant record also shows repeated relationships. Mentors International, Upstream Cinema, Ghana Make a Change, and MesoAmerican Research Foundation each appear more than once across the recent grants list, indicating recurring support rather than one-off awards. Grants are awarded to selected partners, and the programs described for the foundation do not accept unsolicited applications.
