About the Foundation

Real help, for real neighbors.

Rising Tide Productions Foundation is a 501(c)(3) registered public charity supporting single moms in Northeast Oklahoma. We step in when utilities are about to be shut off, when groceries run thin, or when rent is one paycheck away from disaster.

Anyone experiencing an emergency can apply — priority is given to single mothers caring for children at risk of losing essential services. Every request is reviewed by our team, often within 48 hours.

How We Help

Emergency support, delivered with dignity.

We focus on three forms of immediate, practical assistance — the ones that most often stand between a family and an irreversible setback.

Rent Assistance

Losing a home is one of the hardest things a family can face. Our one-time emergency rent assistance helps stop eviction before it starts, giving a single mom the breathing room she needs to stabilize her income and make a plan.

We can also help with a security deposit when a family is moving from shelter or crisis into a safe place. Payments go straight to the landlord or property manager, so there is no guesswork about where the money goes.

The goal is simple: keep children in their schools, their neighborhoods, and the only bedroom they have ever known.

Utilities

When the power is about to be cut off or the water is running dry, a family’s entire world feels unstable. We step in to keep the lights on, the water running, and the heat working through direct payments to utility providers.

Because we pay the provider directly, families do not have to juggle cash advances or risky loans. The assistance shows up where it matters: on the account that keeps their home safe and livable.

It is a small bridge, but for a parent choosing between electricity and groceries, it can change the whole week.

Food & Essentials

A sudden car repair, a missed shift, or an unexpected bill can wipe out a food budget in a single afternoon. We provide groceries and household essentials so families do not have to choose between eating and keeping the lights on.

Our support is practical and respectful — a bag of produce, milk, bread, protein, and the basics that get a household through the gap. For many families, it is the difference between going to bed hungry and waking up with enough.

No forms that shame, no hoops to jump through. Just the kind of help a neighbor would offer on a hard day.
