About Oklahoma Association of Community Action
Oklahoma Association of Community Action centers much of its giving on income tax assistance and regional training for community action agencies. The largest recent award in the dataset was $138,717 to Cap Systems Inc for income tax assistance, which signals a practical, service-delivery orientation alongside its support for statewide and cross-state capacity building. In 2025, it also gave $39,901 to Community Action Agency of Okc for income tax assistance, while 2024 grants included $82,860 to Texas Association of Community Action Agencies for regional training and technical assistance and $71,938 to Association of Community Action Partnerships of Louisiana for the same purpose. Those awards sit within a broader pattern of support for community action infrastructure, with recipients in Oklahoma and neighboring states receiving funds for training, technical assistance, and tax filing support. The foundation’s public mission describes work to further community action through training, conferences, advocacy, and opportunities for agencies to share best practices, and the recent grant record reflects that mix of direct program support and sector-wide capacity building.
