DONNA NIGH FOUNDATION

PURPOSE

The Donna Nigh Foundation, a nonprofit organization, was established as a bridge between the public and private sector to help with programs that government agencies are unable to provide. The Foundation works closely with state agencies to provide a network of friendship and support. The Foundation provides adaptive equipment, which allows Oklahomans with developmental disabilities to push their boundaries and gain independence.
