ABOUT THE WORK
BUILDING OKLAHOMA'S CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE
Build Oklahoma is not simply a program—it is a durable organizing engine.
The Oklahoma Donor Alliance (ODA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to long-term, strategic, and sustainable change by building accountable, data-driven, and inclusive civic engagement infrastructure across Oklahoma. Through leadership development, voter engagement, research, and ecosystem coordination, ODA strengthens the civic landscape required to advance equitable policy outcomes—including reproductive freedom.
Since 2022, ODA’s flagship program, the Build Oklahoma Fellowship, has trained and mobilized young leaders across the state, particularly BIPOC and historically underrepresented communities, to participate in and shape Oklahoma’s democracy.
Fellows engage directly with voters through phone banking, door knocking, relational outreach, and ballot initiative signature collection where appropriate.
