The FISTA Foundation’s Mission & How You Can Help

As the philanthropic arm of the FISTA Innovation Park, the Foundation is dedicated to “breaking barriers and building bridges to a more inclusive and innovative future.”  Through grants, programs, scholarships, and community partnerships, the FISTA Foundation advances STEM education and supports underserved communities across Southwest Oklahoma.

Why The FISTA Foundation Matters

• Connecting STEM to opportunity – The Foundation fuels local access to science, technology, engineering, and math education by funding resources, mentorships, and educational programs. 

• Supporting underserved communities – Recognizing that many students face barriers to technology access or guidance, the Foundation works to level the playing field. 

• Strengthening community and economic growth – By investing in innovation infrastructure and fostering collaboration with local organizations, the Foundation contributes to job creation, educational pathways, and regional vitality. 

• Forging partnerships for impact – In 2025, FISTA joined forces with the PSO Foundation, securing a $50,000 grant toward STEM outreach in Lawton — a powerful example of what’s possible when local organizations unite. 

From building a robust STEM lab and makerspace with support from the McMahon Foundation to awarding scholarships to driven students, the FISTA Foundation is turning vision into action.
