In keeping with its mission of supporting organizations and institutes in the arts and humanities that primarily benefit Southwest Oklahoma, the Leslie Powell Foundation has historically awarded grants totaling $15,000 to $20,000 annually.

The Leslie Powell Foundation accepts grant requests for projects involving the Arts and Humanities (architecture, dance, literature, music, performance, visual arts) in Southwestern Oklahoma and also in the state of Oklahoma and the Great Plains region. Requests will be considered in that order.

The Board cannot consider grants that are religious in nature, or applications from an individual, rather than a nonprofit organization. Grant applications are due by Oct. 16, 2008, for funding for 2009 projects.

You can view a sample of the required grant form below or you can download it. The grant form is available from June through September from the Foundation office. The form is also available by calling the foundation office.
