Pivot

Award Date: August 15, 2024
Awarded: $465,877
Arnall Community Fund Award

Pivot works with youth ages 12-24 who are overwhelmed by barriers and have no resources to overcome them. The agency is committed to the long-term impact of these youth and provides resources and services to address their physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health needs geared to their situation. Pivot helps these young people navigate from instability to self-supporting adults, forever changing the trajectory of their lives. The Community Intervention Center (CIC) provides a safe environment with appropriate consequences for youth who have had an encounter with law enforcement for a misdemeanor or status offense and is an alternative to traditional juvenile detention. The CIC offers a youth-appropriate intake process, a safe 24-hour intervention facility, and reduces recidivism by identifying and connecting youth to resources and diversion services so that they do not re-offend. This grant expands wraparound services available to youth who come to the CIC.

The Arnall Community Funds are administered through Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF) and provide grants to nonprofit organizations throughout the state of Oklahoma that are working to improve outcomes for individuals, children and families involved with animal welfare and in the child welfare and criminal justice systems. The OCCF staff will manage the grant administration process and all grantmaking decisions will be made by OCCF Trustees. Learn more about the process.
