The Santreece Foundation concentrates its giving on youth development programs for girls, primarily supporting Girls on the Run in Oklahoma. Although headquartered in Chicago, its entire recent grantmaking (three grants totaling $250,000) funds programming that combines physical activity, social-emotional learning, and leadership development for young girls. The foundation prefers sizable, repeat grants to the same organization, indicating a targeted, impact-driven strategy rather than broad diversification.
The Santreece Foundation has built a narrow grantmaking pattern around youth development for girls, with its largest recent awards going to Girls on the Run in Oklahoma City and Edmond. Those grants were paired with support for programming described as education for young girls and general operating support, showing a consistent interest in the organization’s work rather than one-off projects. Across the recent grant list, the foundation also backed groups that serve children and families through uniforms and supplies, child treatment, foster care housing, literacy, and food and employment support. The pattern is visible in repeated awards to the same grantees over multiple years, including Girls on the Run - Oklahoma, It Takes a Village Foundation, Alaraph Temple #20, Family & Childrens Services, and 1st Family LLC. In a smaller but still recurring set of grants, the foundation supported performing arts, exhibition-related education, and international children’s programming through organizations in Tulsa, Kalamazoo, Cambridge, and other U.S. cities. The overall impression is of a funder that favors direct, targeted support to organizations it already knows and continues to fund.
Youth development for girls is the clearest throughline in the recent record. The Santreece Foundation gave $90,000 to Girls on the Run-central Oaklahoma for education for young girls, and it supported Girls on the Run - Oklahoma with general operating support in both 2024 and 2023. Beyond that core area, the foundation has funded basic needs for children and families. It gave $40,000 and $35,000 to It Takes a Village Foundation for uniforms and supplies for kids, and it awarded $35,000, $22,500, $20,000, and $15,000 to 1st Family LLC for aid to families in need. The foundation also supports child-serving social services. Family & Childrens Services received $20,000 in 2024, another $20,000 in 2023, and $20,000 in 2025 for child treatment. Additional grants reached foster care housing, adult literacy and career development, and food and employment support.
Typical awards sit in the middle of a modest-to-midrange band: p25 is $5,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $17,500. The recent record shows a strong repeat-grant pattern, with several recipients appearing in more than one year and some receiving similar amounts over consecutive years. The foundation’s filings show annual grants of $1,181,000 and assets of $5,797,782. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.

Highly concentrated: large, repeat grants to a single organization (Girls on the Run variants) in a specific geography; few grantees and focused funding rather than broad distribution.
