McCasland Foundation Inc.
McCasland Foundation Inc. (Foundation) was established on December 26, 1950, by T. H. McCasland, founder of Mack Energy Co. His philosophy, adopted by his children and grandchildren, views granting money as giving back to the community the opportunities and generosity received. The current directors include all family members from the second and third generations.
The Foundation started with $500 in assets and has a perpetual existence. In almost 60 years, the Foundation has grown to assets of over $35 million. The Foundation grants money almost exclusively in the state of Oklahoma and concentrates its efforts in the Southwest region of the state. The main areas of interests are education, primarily special projects for public schools and universities, including numerous scholarship funds; cultural organizations; and community-based organizations.
For grant seekers, the Foundation accepts letters of inquiry from 501(c)(3) organizations submitted through our online grants management system. Deadlines for our spring and fall grant cycles are listed below. For more information about our activities, interests, or grant processes, please feel free to contact the Foundation directly.
