About our foundation

One family. One shared purpose.

The Charles and Peggy Stephenson Family Foundation is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and led by a family of trustees and foundation leadership.

Our story

Peggy and Charles Stephenson

High school sweethearts who have been married for more than 60 years, Peggy and Charles Stephenson are proud Oklahoma natives whose lives, and philanthropy, have been shaped by deep roots, shared values, and a commitment to giving back. Raised in Antlers, Oklahoma, and longtime residents of Tulsa, they carry the spirit of small-town neighbors helping neighbors in everything they do.

For more than five decades, the Stephenson Family have invested in their communities, guided by compassion, gratitude, and a desire to serve others. Whether a need arises in a small town like the one where they grew up or in a growing city like Tulsa, they have looked for ways to help.

Through the Charles and Peggy Stephenson Family Foundation, their legacy of giving continues, carried forward by the next generations and rooted in the same values of faith, generosity, leadership, and hope.
