OKWU Foundation
The OKWU Foundation was established to help the University meet its financial needs beyond the assistance of the church, by cultivating private support.

Therefore, the Development Staff of the University in tandem with the efforts of Foundation Directors use a variety of methods to make appeals to alumni, friends, corporations, foundations and other entities for gift contributions towards Giving Programs including the Annual Fund, Endowed Scholarships, Capital Projects, Scholarly Activity, Institutes and other priorities which arise.
