About Scissortail Family Foundation
Scissortail Family Foundation’s largest recent grant was $310,413 to Maranatha Power Ministries for general support, a figure that stands out against a grant pattern built around a single recurring amount. The foundation gives in Oklahoma and aligns its work with equity and justice, sustainable communities, entrepreneurship, micro-loans for entrepreneurs, and community development. Its public program descriptions point to support for families, entrepreneurs, and local community efforts that promote an equitable, sustainable society. The foundation’s recent activity also includes $149,116 to Riverfield Country Day School for general support, showing that its giving reaches beyond a single cause label and into broader community support. Across the data, the foundation appears to use grants as a flexible tool for local Oklahoma priorities, with program language that ties family support, economic development, and community improvement together. That mix suggests a funder interested in both social outcomes and the practical conditions that help neighborhoods and entrepreneurs move forward.
What Scissortail Family Foundation Funds
In entrepreneurship and economic development, the foundation’s program descriptions emphasize micro-loans or small grants for entrepreneurs in Oklahoma, alongside broader support for thriving local economies. That framing is reinforced by its stated interest in entrepreneurship support and small business development. For equity and justice, the foundation supports projects in Oklahoma communities that promote an equitable, sustainable society. Its topic taxonomy also includes family support services, which aligns with the active “Fueled by Family” program intended to support families and entrepreneurs as contributors to vibrant communities. Sustainability is another stated lane. The foundation’s sustainable communities grants are designed to support projects that create sustainable communities in Oklahoma, linking environmental and social sustainability with community development.
How Scissortail Family Foundation Gives
The reported grant-size distribution is flat: p25, median, and p75 are all $149,116, indicating a single observed typical grant size in the available data. The recent record also shows one much larger award at $310,413, suggesting that while a standard amount appears in the file, the foundation can make larger general-support grants as well. The foundation appears to be family-run, based on the active “Fueled by Family” program. It also accepts unsolicited requests for that program, while other listed programs say a portal is opening soon. The grant record includes grants in both 2023 and 2025, which indicates activity across multiple years rather than a one-time burst of giving.
