The McCasland Foundation, established by T.H. McCasland in 1950, is devoted to giving back to the community through grants, reflecting the founding family's philosophy of repaying the opportunities and generosity they've received. Operating with assets grown to over $35 million, the Foundation primarily supports initiatives within Oklahoma, focusing on the Southwest region, and is expanding to include Louisiana. Its philanthropic interests include education, cultural organizations, and community-based organizations.
The McCasland Foundation's grant program is aimed at enriching the community by supporting education, with a strong emphasis on special projects for public schools and universities, as well as numerous scholarship funds. Additionally, it supports cultural organizations and community-based organizations, reflecting a broad commitment to improving the quality of life in its areas of focus. While the Foundation predominately grants money within Oklahoma, specifically the Southwest region, it is beginning to accept grant requests from Louisiana, signaling a potential expansion of its geographical focus.
