WENOK Foundation: Energizing Her Future
The Women’s Energy Network of Greater Oklahoma (WENOK) Foundation is dedicated to investing in local initiatives that provide immediate access to STEAM-focused education within our communities. By supporting these opportunities, we are actively working to bridge the gender gap and build a strong, diverse, and innovative pipeline of future energy leaders in Oklahoma. Our mission is to expand STEAM education across the state—because when we support young minds today, we are shaping the energy leaders of tomorrow.
Bridging the Gender Gap in STEAM
At the WENOK Foundation, we recognize that early exposure to science, technology, engineering, arts and math is key to sparking lasting interest. That's why we proudly partner with trusted local organizations to deliver meaningful programs that empower girls and break down gender-based barrier in STEAM fields.
In Oklahoma City, we collaborate annually with Science Museum Oklahoma to fund the Women in STEAM Conference. This event brings together industry professionals and educators for dynamic panel discussions and practical workshops that showcase real-world career paths in STEAM. Teachers receive classroom-ready tools to continue the conversation long after the event. With over 1,500 students from 70+ schools attending each year—including many from underserved rural areas—the impact is tangible, and the demand continues to grow.
In Tulsa, we proudly support Discovery Lab’s “Introduce a Girl to Engineering” summer program. Tailored for girls in grades 4–6, this hands-on initiative promotes informal learning through creative, engineering-based activities. To date, more than 2,000 girls have benefited from in-person sessions and outreach kits that inspire curiosity and confidence.
Our Signature Event: The Annual Gala
To power these programs, the WENOK Foundation hosts its Annual Gala, alternating each year between Oklahoma City and Tulsa. This event is our cornerstone fundraiser and a celebration of the inspiring work happening across our communities.
Join us for the 4th Annual Fundraising Gala, “Energize Her Future,” on October 24, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at Science Museum Oklahoma. Enjoy an evening of celebration, community, and purpose as we raise funds for these transformative educational experiences.
