Executive Director A letter from Kim Henry
S
arkeys Foundation is pleased to present our 2018 Annual Report. Since 1962, our mission has been to “Improve the Quality of Life in Oklahoma.” We are honored to continue to fulfill that vision by working with organizations from across the state.
We have been gearing up for our biennial Southwest Regional Leadership Forum that will take place November
5th and 6th of 2019. We know that the environment for nonprofits is everchanging. This year’s theme is “Going Beyond Today, The Challenge of Change.” This two-day event will provide training to nonprofit professionals and volunteers to become more effective leaders in their organization. Once again, Sarkeys will underwrite a huge portion of the Forum to make it affordable for any nonprofit to attend.
To highlight accomplishments made in 2018, we profile just a few of our nonprofit
grantees. These stories demonstrate how, working together, we can ensure that Oklahoma is filled with unlimited opportunities. All of our grantees provide vital services to make communities vibrant and stronger. They inspire us. And we hope they will inspire you as well.
