In 1979, our founder John Kirkpatrick offered the first of seven dollar-for-dollar challenge match opportunities to charitable organizations as a way to build their endowments at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation and attract new donors. The “Kirkpatrick Challenges” as they became known would become a hallmark of Mr. Kirkpatrick’s philanthropy. As part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth, the Kirkpatrick Family Fund and the Oklahoma City Community Foundation is providing the John Kirkpatrick Centennial Endowment Challenge, a matching grant program for charitable organizations and scholarship endowment funds who wish to participate. Through the Challenge, we are offering a dollar-for-dollar matching grant of up to $5,000 for contributions made to your endowment at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation between February 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. That is a possible $10,000 increase to each fund and a potential $3 million match. Contributions made by individuals, foundations and corporate donors will qualify for the match. Below is a list an alphabetical list of charitable organizations and scholarship funds participating in the Challenge. For more information, please contact Gayle Farley at 606-2910 or Kenneth Conklin at 606-2926. # | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | R | S | T | U | V | W | Y | Scholarship Endowment Funds Charitable Organization Endowment Funds
