04 Novembro 2022 - 1:03PM
An important charitable giving milestone has been reached by BOK
Financial and its BOKF Foundation.
Since its creation in 2000, the Foundation funded through a
portion of the company’s profits each year and the company have
combined to give $100 million in contributions to nonprofit
organizations.
“At BOK Financial one of our core values is ‘actively advancing
the communities we serve.’ Charitable giving and volunteering give
us the opportunity to act on those values,” said Stacy Kymes,
president and CEO of BOK Financial. “I am proud that since its
creation, the foundation and the company have given $100 million in
donations—but the impact of these dollars in the community is
immeasurable.”
The foundation directs a portion of company profits to worthy
community organizations, averaging $6 million to more than 600
nonprofits each year. Giving is focused on four key pillars: basic
needs, education, economic development and local United Ways.
“Not only does the BOK Foundation’s giving create lasting impact
in our communities, but it’s a source of tremendous pride for all
employees,” said Leslie Paris, director of community and employee
engagement for BOK Financial. “Working for an organization that
values this level of community involvement and employee empowerment
creates a culture of giving. Each of the nonprofits we support is
full of inspiring people doing transformative service in their
community. We’re continuously motivated by their missions and the
stories they tell.”
Giving is done through a combination of BOKF Foundation giving
and direct corporate donations, and has had a positive effect on
communities throughout the company’s footprint. Some notable
projects in recent years include: The Gathering Place and Tulsa
Children’s Museum/Discovery Lab in Tulsa, Family Place in Dallas,
Colorado Uplift in Denver, City Rescue Mission in Oklahoma City and
Covenant House in Houston.
“I look forward to continuing this momentum for years to come,”
said Kymes.
