As a nonprofit, small business, or research professional looking for funding in Oklahoma, there are several sources to explore when searching for grants. From federal and state government programs to private foundations and corporate giving, the options can seem overwhelming. In this article, we’ll guide you through the key grant opportunities available in Oklahoma and provide tips to streamline your search.
The federal government offers a wide range of grant programs that can benefit Oklahomans. Some prominent examples include the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Business Development Grants and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Community Services Block Grants. These grants can provide crucial funding for rural economic development, community services, and more.
The state of Oklahoma also has its own grant opportunities available. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce, for instance, administers the Oklahoma Quick Action Closing Fund, which supports business expansions and relocations. To support growth in vital economic areas in the state, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry has offered grants for agriculture, food systems, and rural development projects.
Private foundations can be an important source of grant funding in Oklahoma. Well-known grantmakers in the state include the Tulsa Community Foundation, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, and the George Kaiser Family Foundation. These organizations provide grants to nonprofits, educational institutions, and community initiatives across a variety of focus areas.
Many corporations with a presence in Oklahoma also have charitable giving programs that provide grant funding. Examples include the Devon Energy Charitable Foundation, the Love’s Charitable Giving Program, and the Chesapeake Energy Charitable Foundation.
Navigating the grant landscape by sifting through each of these entity websites is a cumbersome process and will take months of your time without necessarily yielding results, but with Quillify you can have our AI search every single one of them for you and in 5 minutes, and come up with a short list of qualified grants for your project.
It’s not worth the effort to secure the necessary funding for your project or organization by doing it yourself. You’ll spend 3-5 days each week trying to find and apply for grants with less than a 3% success rate because you’re applications are misaligned with Grantmaker goals. With Quillify, we guarantee at least 60%.
Additionally, depending on the grant program, writing a grant proposal by yourself can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. With Quillify, you can take back your time wasted on bad applications by using our AI to draft your entire application for you in under 10 minutes, typo free.
Don’t let the grant search process overwhelm you. Take advantage of the resources available and partner with Quillify so you can focus less on administrative tasks and more on what’s important: your vital impact and influence in your local community.
