Special Olympics Oklahoma Donations
Special Olympics was created by the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation for persons with intellectual disabilities [mental retardation]. Special Olympics Oklahoma is not funded by this foundation. Special Olympics Oklahoma currently receives no funds from federal or state grants and is not a United Way Agency. Special Olympics Oklahoma is designated a non-profit organization under the IRS Code Section 501(c)(3). Special Olympics Oklahoma is 100% dependent on private gifts from individuals, businesses, civic groups, corporations and foundations to ensure a solid program of training and competition for local, area and state events. Financial contributions are essential to the continued growth and expansion of our program.
