Expanding north Tulsa's legacy
Unchecked, economic and social disparities that affect children living in poverty, especially children of color, widen over their lifetimes.
Closing the gaps
Opportunity gaps are evident throughout north Tulsa (neighborhoods north of U.S. Interstate 244), where data shows that a child born in the neighborhood will live 11 fewer years than a child born in south Tulsa. We support efforts to close these gaps and end disparities.
Our approach
InvestNorth partners with the community to invest in programs that deliver upward mobility, wealth creation and the revitalization of neighborhoods. Guided by the historically Black neighborhood’s rich history and the aspirations of its residents, InvestNorth channels resources into investments that will uplift the community and uphold its history.
InvestNorth is transforming public amenities, reimagining public housing and evolving social services to ensure that people thrive.
