The ONE Awards were established in 2008 by the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits with guidance from late Chapman Foundation trustee J. Jerry Dickman and Tulsa businessman Joe Moran to draw attention to those nonprofit organizations that employ the tenets of excellence in their operations every day. Since its beginning, the program has awarded cash grants between $5,000 and $10,000 to exceptional Oklahoma Nonprofits. As of 2025, the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits has given more than $2.46 million to more than 200 Oklahoma nonprofits through the ONE Awards.
The Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence (ONE) Awards is dedicated to honoring the outstanding work of Oklahoma nonprofits statewide. Thank you for coming together with us to celebrate excellence in nonprofit service. This year’s nonprofit finalists
are changing the landscape of human services and community assistance across the state, and we are proud to honor their achievements with recognition and funding. Proceeds from the ONE Awards enable OKCNP to serve communities throughout
Oklahoma.
