Greenwood rising inc. Dba greenwood rising is the legacy project of the 1921 tulsa race massacre centennial commission (the "commission"). The commission began in 2015 under the leadership of senator kevin mathews, dedicated to a vision of a stronger and more just tulsa. The commission set out to raise a total of 30 million for its projects and was structured as a component fund of the tulsa community foundation ("tcf"), ein 73- 1554474, a 501(c)(3) public charity. The private funds raised by the commission were deposited by tcf and dispersed under direction of the commission and with approval of tcf per the project budget and grant guidelines. The vast majority of donor dollars collected for the benefit of greenwood rising are maintained in three tcf managed funds and most building, programming and operational expenses associated with greenwood rising incurred through june 30, 2022 were paid directly to vendors, employees, etc. By tcf with these dollars.

“Greenwood rising partnered with the oklahoma center for community and justice to host local high school students in the youth leadership forum for community transformation. This program seeks to create space for young people to talk openly and honestly about their communities and work collaboratively to create change in those communities. The primary social impact of creating this space is increased self and social awareness of the participants, creating global citizens. The innovation of this program exists in its approach to student social-emotional learning through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Greenwood rising also partnered with the oklahoma city national memorial & museum to provide tulsa and oklahoma city-based ninth grade students with transportation and admission to visit both museums in one day. Students experience the powerful stories each provides, including the resilience of the human spirit and the senselessness of violence, and then virtually come together to debrief their experiences.”
