The TYPROS Foundation provides strategic funding to projects that engage young Tulsans in placemaking, innovation and community development. Each summer, the TYPROS Foundation selects several projects from community submissions that will #MakeTulsaAwesome. Notable past grantees include the Great Raft Race, the Outsiders House Museum, Tulsa Flag and the Black Wall St. mural.

Boomtown Awards

The Boomtown Awards is the largest annual fundraiser benefiting the TYPROS Foundation. This event brings together some of Tulsa’s most dedicated movers and shakers who are working to make the city we love even better. The evening will be honoring individuals, companies and organizations who support TYPROS' mission to attract and retain young, creative talent to the Tulsa region.

Street Cred

Street Cred is TYPROS’ annual community redevelopment project. The event started in 2011 to highlight the Pearl District’s potential for development. Each year, Street Cred focuses on a different neighborhood or area of Tulsa that has great potential for commercial and residential development. Other Street Creds looked at downtown parking lots, Route 66, Red Fork and South Peoria.

918 Lead is a nonpartisan one-weekend boot camp to prepare young Tulsans to run for public office.

Whether you’re considering a campaign one day, ready to file the paperwork tomorrow, or just want to learn more about the ins and outs of local government, 918 Lead is a crash course in everything that goes into running for a local, state or federal seat.

918 Vote is TYPROS’ voter engagement campaign designed to get young professionals registered to vote, informed about upcoming elections, and out to the polls.

One of TYPROS’ most popular and well-known programs, Get On Board places accepted applicants in local nonprofit board internships. Applicants are able to rank their preferences for nonprofits and serve for year-long terms.
