Family-Led Governance
The Tom and Judy Love Foundation is governed by a board of directors composed of those who knew Tom and Judy best – their family. The grantmaking committee reviews all applications using a standardized process, and our decisions are made collectively – never by any single individual.
Judy always believed that fundraising MUST be fun. We lived by the motto, ‘If you ain’t givin’, you ain’t livin’.
Local attorney and business leader, and Judy’s partner on many fundraising initiatives including for Bishop McGuinness High School, Allied Arts, Untied Way, the Oklahoma City Boathouse, and the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center.
