Support Our Work

SOONER is an Oklahoma-based 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit organization. Contributions from individuals, congregations, and businesses fund the development of our curriculum framework, the annual administration of the S.T.U.P.I.D. Examination, the operation of our regional educator network, and the publication of our family resource guides.

All programs are offered at no cost to participating schools, cooperatives, and families. This is possible only because of the generosity of our supporters.
