Zarrow Foundations

Zarrow Foundations is the umbrella name used to refer to three unique foundations staffed by a shared team in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Anne & Henry Zarrow Foundation

The mission of The Anne & Henry Zarrow Foundation is to lift our neighbors out of poverty by supporting housing and shelter resources, social services and basic human needs, accessible health and mental healthcare, and programs that empower and inspire community members to improve their lives.

Our philanthropy reflects the faith, vision and values that guided our founders, Anne and Henry Zarrow, who believed in building communities where marginalized populations are elevated in ways that uplift us all.

We fund nonprofit organizations working to improve the physical and intellectual lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people primarily in the metropolitan area of Tulsa, and in special cases statewide in Oklahoma and in Israel. Grants from the Foundation may be made in the form of operating, program or capital support.

Maxine & Jack Zarrow Family Foundation

The Maxine & Jack Zarrow Family Foundation supports those most at risk in our community, those with mental illness, those with physical or medical challenges, and the homeless. We are also committed to transformational civic projects, especially those efforts that seek to better engage those with limited access to our inspirational arts and cultural resources.

Grants are considered by invitation only. We typically fund social services, medical research initiatives, mental health programs, museums and educational institutions. Our geographical preference for giving is Tulsa, Oklahoma and the state of Israel.

The Commemoration Fund

Our Mission

We support bold and innovative efforts to correct social, political and economic injustices that impact Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and People of Color in our community. Our grantmaking addresses disparities rooted in white supremacy and systemic racism with sustainable, collaborative solutions.
