Charitable Organization Endowments

COE Program

The Charitable Organization Endowment program, one of the first efforts at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, is one of the largest in the nation. In 1970, Jasper Ackerman established the first endowment fund at the Community Foundation to benefit the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. Today, the program has 388 charitable organizations, many with multiple funds.
