- Fund Portal Guide
- Past issues of E News, our monthly e-newsletter
- Key OCCF staff contact information
- See our Did You Know FAQs
Linking to Your Online Giving page
Each Charitable Organization Endowment has its own page on this website through the Central Oklahoma Charities directory. Central Oklahoma Charities is the area’s most comprehensive online directory of more than 300 nonprofit organizations. In addition to providing key information about the organization including website and e-mail links, each page also includes a link to our secure online giving service where donors can use a major credit card to make a charitable gift to your endowment.
Linking to Legacy Giving, an online planned giving resource
The Oklahoma City Community Foundation offers a free planned giving service on our website for both donors and professional advisors. If you’d like to offer planned giving resources for your donors you may want to add a link to our Legacy Giving page. Below is sample language to use with the link as well as the direct URL:
Our organization partners with the Oklahoma City Community Foundation to offer free planned giving tools for you and your professional advisor here.
Linking to Online Giving
We process credit card gifts to your endowment funds through our secure online giving service. If you have a link on your website to our online giving service you may want to check your link to ensure it’s going to the correct page.
Links from your website to our online giving form should be directed to:

Fund Portal Guide
Because you have an endowment fund at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, you have access to our Fund Portal, an online reporting system that allows you to track gifts, review fund balances, gift history and financial statements. Fund Portal can be a very useful tool for keeping up with your endowment fund’s activities quickly and conveniently. This reference guide walks you through the system’s features.
