A Statement from the Women's Foundation of Oklahoma

The Women's Foundation of Oklahoma is the leading funder of change for Oklahoma women and girls. Through a permanent endowment, the Foundation provides support to Oklahoma organizations working to create the social and systemic change that leads to economic self-sufficiency and improves the futures of girls.

We have just completed five years of grantmaking and are proud of the work of our grantees. In an effort to enable the Women's Foundation of Oklahoma to continue funding important organizations and causes for generations to come, we are taking this opportunity to evaluate our grantmaking process and focus. Therefore, during 2009, the Women's Foundation of Oklahoma will not be making its usual open request for applications and will not fund unsolicited grant applications.

During these difficult economic times, we understand that many organizations have a need for immediate funding. We also understand the need to remain focused on the long term goal of systemic change in our state. Unfortunately, the challenges that face Oklahoma's women and girls will continue long after our state and national economies have improved.

The need for funding never ends and neither will the Women's Foundation of Oklahoma. We are committed to the women and girls of our state today, tomorrow and forever.
