The Garden of Hope Fund

We are a small fund participating in the DAFFY Donor Advised Fund. We seek to stimulate creative start up projects within the Oklahoma City area. We are not a foundation, LLC, or business. The Garden of Hope Fund exists solely as a process within DAFFY whereby we contribute funds and then suggest charities and initiatives that we would like to see funded.

Due to limited funds, the Garden of Hope Fund generally initiates contacts with community organizations in which we have an interest. We do not generally have funds for unsolicited grant proposals. However, in years that we do not expend all funds allotted for that year, will will consider unsolicited proposals.
