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. Please note: These grants can be awarded to non-profit organizations (including schools) only. Individuals and for-profit organizations need not apply.

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 or a for-profit organization.

You can view an HTML sample of the required grant form below or you can download it. The current grant form is available from June through September from the Foundation office.

Six copies of the application plus the application for 2012 are due in the Leslie Powell Foundation and Gallery office by 4 p.m., Thurs., Dec. 15, 2011.

Please mail at least one week in advance to allow for mail delays or you can hand deliver to the Foundation office.
