From Rehearsal Rooms to Standing Ovations

This past spring, over 80 Will Rogers students took the stage in the Foundation-funded production of “Into the Woods” — a full-scale musical performance with professional costumes, lighting rigs, and a licensed score. The show sold out all three nights.

Without Foundation support, the licensing fees alone would have made this production impossible. Your gift to the Theatre Production Fund turns artistic ambition into lived experience — building confidence, discipline, and community one performance at a time.

Early College Associate Degree Initiative

Through our Academics pillar, 15 students have already earned early associate degrees — saving families thousands in tuition costs while keeping students ahead of the curve.

This initiative pairs students with faculty mentors and provides the financial support needed to enroll in college courses before graduation — turning potential into reality.

Destiny Found Her Path — With Your Help

Growing up in north Tulsa, Destiny Marshall didn’t always believe college was in her future. When her family faced financial hardship in her junior year, it was the Will Rogers Community Foundation’s Emergency Scholars Fund that kept her enrolled — and her dreams alive.

Today, Destiny is a first-generation college student studying pre-law at the University of Tulsa on a full scholarship she earned — aided by foundation mentors who guided her application process every step of the way.
