The RNR Cross Family Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving into a very small number of charities, providing repeat, flexible general support rather than many one-off gifts. Its funding appears focused on direct human services with a local/community orientation (a multi-grant relationship with New Life House) and a clear interest in supporting families facing serious health crises (repeated grants to Children’s Organ Transplant Association).
Highly concentrated and relationship-driven: six grants totaling $210,350 split between two repeat grantees, delivering sizeable, unrestricted support rather than many small or geographically diverse grants.
RNR Cross Family Foundation’s giving is built around repeated general-support grants to a small set of organizations, with New Life House and the Children’s Organ Transplant Association appearing again and again in recent years. That pattern points to a funder that favors sustained support over many one-time gifts. In the latest grant record, the foundation continued that approach with $40,000 to New Life House and $40,000 to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association, both labeled charitable or general support. The foundation also shows a practical interest in organizations serving families and people facing serious needs. Its recent grants include support for Hough Ear Institute, Families Feeding Hope Foundation, Employee Benefit Fund, and Shriners Hospitals for Children, alongside gifts to local schools, universities, and community groups. The recipient list is overwhelmingly Oklahoma-centered, but it also reaches a small number of organizations outside the state, including Bloomington, Indiana; Sherman, Texas; and Atlanta, Georgia. Across the record, the foundation’s grantmaking looks consistent and targeted: flexible support, repeat relationships, and a mix of direct-service charities and community institutions.
A clear thread in the foundation’s recent giving is support for local human services in Durant. New Life House received $40,350 in 2024, following $40,000 in 2023 and another $40,000 in 2025, all for charitable or general support. That repeated funding suggests an ongoing relationship rather than a project-by-project approach. Family and health-related assistance is another visible area. The Children’s Organ Transplant Association received $40,000 in 2025 after grants of $25,000 in 2023 and $25,000 in 2024, again as general support. Hough Ear Institute also received recurring support, with $20,000 in 2023 and $25,000 in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation also funds community-facing organizations beyond direct services. Recent examples include $20,000 to Families Feeding Hope Foundation in 2024, $10,000 to the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma in 2024, and $5,000 to Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival in 2025.
The median recent grant is $5,000, with p25 at $1,000 and p75 also at $5,000, which shows a distribution anchored at smaller awards with a few larger commitments. The grant record also shows repeat funding across multiple years rather than isolated gifts: New Life House, Hough Ear Institute, Children’s Organ Transplant Association, Employee Benefit Fund, Families Feeding Hope Foundation, Shriners Hospitals for Children, and The Salvation Army all appear more than once. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant descriptions are overwhelmingly charitable or general support, pointing to flexible operating-style support.

Repeated recipients include New Life House, the Children’s Organ Transplant Association, Hough Ear Institute, Families Feeding Hope Foundation, and Employee Benefit Fund, showing a mix of direct human services and community-based support organizations.
