The health and well-being of Oklahoma communities has been a top priority to our mission since the beginning. Because of our generous donors, we have been able to assist numerous local charitable organizations, as well as some nationally recognized organizations.

Caleb's Cause Grant

Thanks to a generous grant from Caleb's Cause Foundation (CCF), we are able to donate 60 bags of diapers to the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center to be given to parents with a newborn. That's 1,980 diapers altogether!

We are grateful to CCF for allowing us to play a role in lifting some of the financial burden off of parents!

Communities Foundation of Oklahoma Grant

Chickasaw Foundation received a $15,000 grant from Communities Foundation of Oklahoma. These funds support the Tribal Youth Literacy Project led by the Chickasaw Nation Department of Health’s Division of Public Health and Pediatric clinics. We purchased 4,846 books to gift children five years old and under with books during each well-child visit at the Ada, Ardmore, Purcell and Tishomingo tribal clinics.

Partnerships

Chickasaw Foundation is pleased to partner with other organizations who share a mission similar to that of the Chickasaw Foundation, encourage collaborative efforts to address community needs and provide opportunities to enhance the lives of those residing within Oklahoma or communities significant to the Chickasaw Nation as determined by the Chickasaw Foundation Board of Trustees.
