The Grace and Franklin Bernsen Foundation was created in 1968 to provide grants in support of charitable, educational, literary, religious, scientific purposes or, for the prevention of cruelty to children. By policy, the Foundation limits grants to non-profit organizations in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the home of Grace and Franklin Bernsen for more than six decades.

Note from the Trustees:

The GFBF grant process is in a holding pattern at the moment. Our Chairman of the Board, Don Pray, passed away Monday, May 26th and we are taking a short hiatus while we observe his passing. While we will receive abstracts and proposals, we will not have a June meeting — those proposals will be reviewed in July. If you had a proposal reviewed at our May meeting, we will contact you soon.
