I am pleased to announce that Dress for Success Tulsa has been chosen to be the recipient of a Challenge Grant in the amount of $2500.00 from The George Kaiser Family Foundation.  Upon acknowledgement of  securing $2500.00 in new donor sources, Dress for Success Tulsa will receive a match for the same. 

We need your help.  We could not provide our services without the generous support of community members and local businesses.  Your contribution will assist women on their journey toward economic independence.  Please consider giving an amount to be shared and know that you will be a viable part of changing a life forever. 

Because The George Kaiser Family Foundation, a partner in the initiative will provide a matching grant for new funds we raise, whatever you give is multiplied.  We hope you will help us make the most of this opportunity. 

On behalf of the thousands of disadvantaged women we serve, the Board of Directors, myself, and all of our volunteers, thank you for your support.
