ABOUT THE BUTLERS
The connectors
nonprofits trust.
The Butlers have built one of the most trusted reputations in Oklahoma's philanthropic community. Not because of our network, but because of how we’ve built it. We understand what funders seek to accomplish, what is possible for communities when nonprofits thrive, and how to bring them together with integrity.
With a background that spans academic fundraising, community organizing, and nonprofit strategy, the Butlers bring a rare combination of relational depth and tactical precision to every engagement.
Our belief is simple: when under-resourced organizations get the right support, their impact is exponential. That's the work. That's always been the work.

Building the next generation
of community organizations.
What the Incubator Does
The Northeast OKC Nonprofit Incubator is a cohort-based program designed to give small and emerging nonprofits the knowledge, connections, and confidence to grow — sustainably and strategically. From governance sessions to fundraising strategy, participants leave with real tools and real relationships.
Who It's For
Small and mid-sized nonprofits in the Northeast Oklahoma City area — especially organizations led by founders from the communities they serve. If your mission is clear but your capacity or funding isn't keeping up, the Incubator was built for you.
The Community Belief
We are better together than we are separately. The Incubator creates space where organizations collaborate, share resources, and lift each other up. Because in this community, there's no reason everyone can't succeed.
