Our Focus

Our efforts target four specific outcome areas that contribute to a just world free from poverty.

Work

MetaFund is committed to helping Oklahoma's workforce succeed by supporting employers who create quality jobs. To MetaFund, this means we invest in projects that create, sustain, or establish a pipeline for employment to jobs that are low-barrier, provide a living wage, and offer training, benefits, and asset-building opportunities.

Investments in this area focus on helping to increase income and assets for low- and moderate-income households to grow vibrant communities.

  • Developing, sustaining or growing local business or projects

  • Creating permanent or temporary jobs that pay a living wage

  • Supporting workforce development programs for in-demand skills

  • Providing opportunities for Oklahomans who experience barriers to employment

Housing

MetaFund is committed to creating safe and affordable housing solutions for low-income families that are often burdened by the high costs of traditional market-rate housing. We do this by providing flexible financing to developers that create safe, affordable, and high-quality places to live as well as offering our loan programming to transitional housing services for individuals and families in need.

Investments in housing help to create, preserve, or provide access to safe, healthy, and reasonably priced housing units for low-, moderate-, and workforce-income households.

  • Supporting builders who use energy efficient or green building materials or techniques

  • Investing in programming that offers onsite wraparound services that enable people to live in a community setting

  • Supporting developments or preservation of mixed-income communities

Health

MetaFund believes that everyone should have access to quality healthcare, regardless of their income. We support organizations that improve access to quality physical, mental and behavioral healthcare and address social drivers of health.

Investments in health and food access to increase the overall welfare of low- or moderate-income households by improving or preserving access to quality healthcare and healthy foods.

  • Improving access to healthcare services and quality food in underserved areas and food deserts

  • Providing capital for medical equipment for healthcare facilities

  • Investing in workforce development or personnel for healthcare facilities
