About Oklahoma Alliance of Ymcas
A single 2025 distribution of $2,945,896 to YMCA of Greater Tulsa stands out in the Oklahoma Alliance of Ymcas’s recent grantmaking, showing how heavily the funder can direct resources toward exempt-purpose program support. The foundation’s work centers on YMCA affiliates and related organizations that advance its mission to build healthy spirit, mind and body for all through youth development, healthy living, social responsibility, after-school programs, hunger relief, advocacy, and community collaboration. Recent grants also show a separate stream for public policy advocacy, with sizable awards to local YMCA organizations in Oklahoma and nearby states. Denny Price Family YMCA of Enid Oklahoma appears in consecutive years, first with a 2024 grant of $418,337 and then a 2025 grant of $508,856, suggesting repeat support for the same recipient. The foundation’s current grantmaking includes both large operating-style distributions tied to exempt purpose and smaller advocacy awards, indicating a mix of direct program support and policy-oriented funding within the YMCA network.

How Oklahoma Alliance of Ymcas Gives
Typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $15,003 at the median, and $63,351 at the 75th percentile, but the distribution includes much larger ARPA-related awards at the top end. The recent record shows repeat support for Denny Price Family YMCA of Enid Oklahoma across 2024 and 2025, along with duplicate 2024 and 2025 grants to YMCA of Northwest Louisiana. That pattern points to ongoing support for selected recipients rather than strictly one-time awards. The organization is a grantmaking funder with no program-related investments listed, and the grant list shows both restricted program support and advocacy funding.
