Provide fiscal sponsorship and administrative/financial services to small organizations and community changemakers, empowering underserved communities to access tax-deductible donations and build capacity.
Third Space Foundation’s 2025 grantmaking is dominated by one large operating grant: $12,030,452 to LiveFree OKC for general operating support. That scale stands out against the foundation’s smaller, program-specific awards and points to a funder that can back both core infrastructure and targeted community work. The foundation’s active programs show that this includes fiscal sponsorship for small organizations and a dedicated artists fund for BIPOC LGBTQ+ creators. Its recent giving also includes $14,250 to the Coalition of Hispanic Organizations for a leadership conference, showing support for convening and capacity-building alongside direct operating aid. The foundation’s public profile emphasizes administrative and financial services for small organizations and community changemakers, especially those that are underserved, so recipients can access tax-deductible donations and strengthen their operations through Third Space Foundation’s 501(c)(3) structure. Alongside community development and social justice work, the foundation’s stated focus areas include mental health and wellness, criminal justice reform, reentry and prison support, and arts and culture, including support for incarcerated artists. That mix suggests a grantmaker built around infrastructure, community-led organizing, and culturally specific support.
Fiscal sponsorship is central to Third Space Foundation’s model. Its program is designed to help smaller organizations and local changemakers operate with autonomy while receiving administrative and financial services through the foundation’s 501(c)(3). The active fiscal sponsorship program in Oklahoma is explicitly aimed at underserved communities. Arts support is another defined area. Through the MoJAM Community Artists Fund, the foundation supports Black, Indigenous, and People of Color LGBTQ artists with social, economic, and mentorship resources and opportunities to thrive in their creative work. Community development appears in the recent grant to the Coalition of Hispanic Organizations for a leadership conference, which connects funding to convening and organizational capacity. The foundation also lists criminal justice reform, mental health and wellness, Latinx and immigrant community support, and reentry/prison support among its focus areas.

Third Space Foundation’s recent grants are highly skewed in size, with a p25 of $14,250, a median of $6,022,351, and a p75 of $12,030,452 across the two grants provided. That spread reflects one very large operating grant alongside a much smaller program grant. The foundation is a public charity, not a funder of individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The available data show two 2025 grants only, so recurring support cannot be established from the provided sample. One active program, Fiscal Sponsorship, accepts unsolicited requests in Oklahoma; the MoJAM Community Artists Fund does not. The combination of fiscal sponsorship and a named community arts fund suggests both open-access infrastructure support and curated programmatic giving.

No non-U.S. recipient countries appear in the provided data.
