Description
The Lawton Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, offers Matching Grants to maximize gifts supporting qualified scholarship and nonprofit endowment funds. The program is part of the foundation’s work to improve quality of life in the Lawton area by encouraging contributions to endowments.
Matching Grants support organizations and scholarship funds that already have a fund at the Lawton Community Foundation or are seeking to establish one. This opportunity focuses on building endowments, rather than directly funding local programs and projects or awarding scholarships to individual students. Those activities are supported through the foundation’s separate Community Grants and scholarship programs.
