Okla. City Community Foundation President & CEO – Trisha Finnegan
An advocate for investing in places and the people who share them, Trisha Finnegan has the pleasure of serving as the President & CEO of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF). As one of the 20 largest community foundations in the country, our team partners across our communities to strengthen OKC, our region, and beyond. She succeeds Nancy Anthony, who served the foundation for 38 years.
OCCF is proud to have invested over $88M in FY24, alongside our donors. This investment included $25M in community grants and $4.5M in scholarships, led by the foundation, and over $13M in annual endowment funding to more than 400 nonprofits. More information on OCCF and our impact can be found on our website at occf.org/annual-report/.
Trisha chose Oklahoma City as her home, moving here from Louisville, KY, where she served most recently as the SVP & Chief Strategy Officer for the Community Foundation of Louisville. In that role, Trisha led meaningful local change alongside donors, civic leaders, partners, and grantees. Through strong partnerships and strategic investment from 2015-2022, Trisha elevated the foundation’s impact through community engagement and collaboration. Her non-profit service began when Trisha served as the sole staff member of an emerging organization.
Prior to joining the philanthropic sector, Trisha built 15 years of multi-functional experience across two Fortune 250 corporations and a start-up. A Louisville native, Trisha holds a B.S. in Business and Organizational Behavior from Miami University in Oxford, OH, where she graduated magna cum laude and completed a graduate certificate in Design Thinking & Innovation through the University of Virginia’s Darden School.
Committed to making meaningful contributions in partnership with others, Trisha’s current and past board service includes the Community Foundations of Canada, DendriFund, Louisville Urban League, the Federal Reserve Bank’s Community Development Advisory Council, and longstanding participation in local business plan competitions. She is also honored to be a Fulcrum Fellow.
Outside of work, Trisha and her husband have added exploring Oklahoma to longstanding interests in food, travel, hiking, art, and architecture. They are proud to call Oklahoma City home.
