CORETZ FAMILY FOUNDATION

OUR APPROACH

Coretz family foundation Theory of action

Invest Intentionally

We address the root causes of the city’s most pressing issues. These issues require transformational change that can be achieved through long-term investment and clear strategy. We can have a significant impact on the Tulsa landscape by investing in these systems.

Collaborate Together

We are stronger together. At CFF, we use our strengths in strategy and relationship building to collaborate with peers, local nonprofits, and community members.

Remove Barriers

We work with our nonprofit partners to understand how we can remove barriers together.

The Coretz Family Foundation believes that if we: invest intentionally in systemic change, collaborate formally around our focus areas with local organizations and create measurable goals, and remove barriers that impede the work of our local nonprofits by providing capacity building support. Then we will see system-wide results in Criminal Justice Reform, Economic Mobility & Opportunity, and Education, producing measurable and meaningful impact.
