OUR MISSIONGiving Oklahomans a brighter tomorrow.
The mission of the Cresap Family Foundation is to further the philanthropic legacy of the Cresap Family by improving the quality of life of Oklahoman’s and beyond. The Foundation’s areas of emphasis are youth and families; health and wellness, education, arts and humanities and animal welfare.
Funding preference will be given to organizations in those counties where Premium Beers operated, including, and without limitation, Oklahoma, Canadian, Grady, Cleveland, Logan, Pottawatomie and Lincoln Oklahoma and the following counties in Northeast Oklahoma: Craig, Delaware, Mayes, Nowata, Osage, Ottawa and Washington. This is a strong preference, but is not mandatory.

Always treat people the way you want to be treated and people will respect you.John Cresap
The DetailsSee exactly how we accomplish our goals.
Letter of Inquiry
We use this step help prioritize the grants that the family has a serious desire to fund. The application is web based and user friendly throughout the entire process.
Grant Application
We ask organizations to make a full application detailing financial information, board governance and program description. The board reviews these applications at their Fall meeting and makes funding decisions. We make a point to get in touch with everyone with feedback about granting decisions.
Follow Up
In addition to the follow up report assigned in the online grantmaking software, nonprofits who receive grant dollars should expect a site visit. The purpose of the site visit is to show the Directors of the Foundation the great work your nonprofits are doing.
