Endowment

Through a partnership with the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, the Hope for Children Endowment provides an avenue for individuals who want to ensure their gift sustains services for children in our community through a series of planned giving options.  Endowing your financial contribution to the Center for Children and Families, Inc. allows your gift to continue to support our work to heal children, empower youth, and strengthen families in perpetuity.

Contributions must go directly to CCFI’s endowment fund at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. You can make an online donation or non-cash gifts, find more information on the Oklahoma City Community Foundation website or call (405) 235-5603.
