Shining Honor Project

As a community initiative, the Shining Honor Project has a two-fold purpose. SHP provides employment opportunities for adults with developmental challenges while honoring our nation’s service men and women. We partner with the Gatesway Foundation and other caregiving agencies by providing funding for their clients to clean and restore headstones belonging to military veterans and their spouses. Through this process, we are able to honor those who have endured enormous sacrifices for our country. These projects give our Honor Team members an added sense of purpose, pride and value to their lives. Shining Honor Project began in Oklahoma, April 2017, and will be expanding into Montana this spring/summer. We partner with the Gatesway Foundation and other caregiving agencies by providing funding for their clients to clean and restore headstones belonging to military veterans and their spouses. Through this process, we honor those who have endured enormous sacrifices for our country while providing employment opportunities for adults with developmental challenges. Donations are requested to be made to the Tulsa Community Foundation on behalf of the Shining Honor Project. Donors receive a tax-deductible receipt for 100% of the donation. TCF serves as an additional resource to oversee the distribution of funds to the caregiving agencies for the benefit of the Honor Team Members. All donations will be used exclusively for the benefit of the agencies and Honor Team Members, and will not be used for any Shining Honor Project overhead or administrative expenses. Our donors can have confidence that 100 per cent of their donation will go into the hands of those who need it most.
