Grants of $75,000 available from Fred Jones
Foundation for central Oklahoma arts
May 15 is the deadline for central Oklahoma arts nonprofits to apply for grants of
up to $75,000 from the Fred Jones Family Foundation. With many organizations
experiencing declines in fundraising revenues because of the recent recession, the
foundation is making an effort to make up for losses through an increase in their
granting.
