The Geraldine Hicks Grant is administered by the Bartlesville Community Foundation to continue the legacy of Geraldine Virginia Hicks.

The program carries that commitment forward by funding requests from churches and organizations with Christian missions.

Within this broader Christian charitable purpose, the grant gives particular attention to initiatives benefiting youth. Requests must focus on the Bartlesville area, even when the applicant organization serves a wider geographic area.
