Lawton Community Foundation

The Lawton Community Foundation was established in 1999 to support the current and future charitable interests of the Lawton community and surrounding areas. The Lawton Community Foundation gives back to the community through community grants, a scholarship program and working with nonprofit organizations to create charitable endowments.

The Lawton Community Foundation is an affiliate of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. Under this structure, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation provides all of the administrative and investment services for the Lawton Community Foundation.

Thanks to a community grant, 25 students had the opportunity to participate in the MacArthur Key Club’s Wild in the Wichitas program, a week-long summer program that works to maintain students’ reading, mathematics and social skills through a variety of activities. Students honed these skills while also discovering the great outdoors of southwestern Oklahoma that included a trip to the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge’s fish hatchery.
