WHAT IS IT?
Tulsa Community Foundation (TCF) and Tulsa Area United Way (TAUW) have established the Wind Storm Relief Fund, to support relief efforts in the Tulsa area related to hardships from the recent storm.
- The Fund will:
- Assist local not-for-profit organizations and service providers directly assisting residents of Tulsa, Wagoner, Creek, Osage, Rogers and Okmulgee counties affected by the June 2023 storm. Awarded grants will assist organizations in covering unexpected operating costs, as well as expenses related to direct services for those affected by the storm, including but not limited to shelter, food, home repair, and other disaster relief and emergency assistance services.
- Place special emphasis on services for low-income, elderly, disabled and other special needs populations.
WHO IS INVOLVED?
A group of philanthropic partners have come together to establish the Fund held at TCF. TAUW and TCF will review online grant applications from community-based organizations providing services to those directly impacted. Both organizations will assure grants are made to legitimate service organizations to reach those in the greatest need located within the impacted counties. Given the dynamic nature of this historical situation, the Fund intends to provide grants on a rolling basis and adapt to changing circumstances. Instructions for organizations to submit a grant application will be announced in the coming days on www.tulsacf.org and www.tauw.org.
