Honoring Our Veterans on November 11, 2024
For your bravery, hard work, and dedication to our country, we thank you
Annual OGS Endowment Fund Drive - 2025
A Fund for the Future of the Oklahoma Genealogical Society
OGS would like to grow our endowment each year through an annual giving campaign. This year's goal is to add $20,000 which would add about 29% to our endowment. We have secured a matching 3 to 1 grant of $5,000 from the Kirkpatrick Family Fund, which means OGS must raise an additional $15,000 by August 2025 to receive it. We have also secured a donation from an anonymous donor of $7,500 which takes care of half, and there is only $7,500 remaining to raise,. To get the maximum benefit from these new donations we would like to raise our share by the spring of 2025. OGS is so thankful for our donors, their foresight and faith in our future.
In early Fall 2021, the OGS board voted to enter into an endowment with the Oklahoma City Community Foundation.
If you have additional questions, please let us know at president@okgensoc.org or call 405-637-1907. You are also welcome to speak directly to our friend Jennifer Meckling with the Oklahoma City Community Foundation at j.meckling@occf.org or 405-606-2951.
If you would like to give now, just click the button.
Below are a few suggestions for Giving Tiers, but any donation to our Endowment Fund, no matter how large or small, is greatly appreciated.
