The Charles & Marion Weber Foundation appears to focus its giving locally on performing arts, demonstrated by a single $30,000 grant to the Tulsa Ballet to support the organization's charitable mission. The foundation favors direct support of cultural institutions in Tulsa, suggesting an interest in sustaining local arts and community cultural life. With only one recorded grant, its profile is small but concentrated on high-impact arts organizations rather than broadly distributed philanthropy.
Concentrated, one-off large grant to a single local cultural institution; appears targeted to core operating or mission support rather than many small or geographically dispersed grants.
Notable grantees: Tulsa Ballet
A clear pattern in the Charles & Marion Weber Foundation’s recent giving is its support for Tulsa cultural institutions, led by a $30,000 grant to Tulsa Ballet in 2025 to further the organization’s charitable mission. That arts emphasis sits alongside a broader local portfolio that also includes Chamber Music Tulsa and Gilcrease Museum, indicating attention to organizations that shape the city’s cultural life. The foundation’s giving is not spread widely across many regions; it is concentrated in Oklahoma, with most grants landing in the state and a strong tilt toward Tulsa recipients. The recent record also shows the foundation using flexible support language. Several awards are described as donations or as grants to further an organization’s charitable mission, which points to support that is not tied to a single narrowly defined project. Alongside arts organizations, the foundation has backed community-serving nonprofits such as Neighbors Along the Line, Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, and Public Radio Tulsa. The result is a profile built around local institutions that serve both cultural and civic needs in Tulsa.
Performing arts appear to be a core part of the foundation’s giving. In 2024, it gave $15,000 to Tulsa Ballet to further the organization’s charitable mission, and in 2024 it gave $19,000 to Chamber Music Tulsa for the same purpose. A year later, Chamber Music Tulsa received another $16,000 grant. The foundation also supports basic-needs organizations in Tulsa. It gave $15,000 to Neighbors Along the Line in 2024 and another $15,000 in 2025, both described as support for the organization’s charitable mission. Food access is another visible thread: in 2024, Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma received $10,000. Public media and health-related causes also appear. Public Radio Tulsa received $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025, while Aplastic Anemia & Mds International Foundation received $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025.
Typical grants are small and consistent: the p25, median, and p75 grant sizes are $5,000, $5,000, and $10,000. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Chamber Music Tulsa, Neighbors Along the Line, Public Radio Tulsa, John 316 Mission, and Tulsa Ballet, which suggests recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation gives directly to organizations and does not make program-related investments or grants to individuals. The grant descriptions also show a mix of donation language and unrestricted mission support, with many awards framed as helping the recipient further its charitable mission.
