​For over four decades, St. Francis of the Woods has been a sanctuary of rest and renewal in the sacred heart of North Central Oklahoma. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on your tax-deductible donations to sustain our mission of hospitality, ecological stewardship, and education. Your support preserves this sacred space, restores native prairies, grows the Hildegarden, and provides scholarships for Prairiewood Forest School students.
Together, we can nurture community, inspire creativity, and care for creation. Click below to help us preserve this sacred space and support our work of hospitality, stewardship, and education. Every gift, large or small, makes a difference! Thank you for your support!
Prairiewood Forest School Scholarships
We help kids connect to nature, creativity, and community through Prairiewood Forest School classes. For each class, we offer scholarships so that youth in foster care can attend at no cost. For Friday classes, we also offer scholarships to Coyle Public School students, since our neighboring school district does not meet on Fridays.​ Other students who wish to join but have need for financial assistance are invited to apply for a scholarship, and we offer partial and full tuition reduction as we are able thanks to the incoming scholarship donations. To help fund these scholarships, you can donate $30 for a single class or $250 for a full season of classes. Any other amount designated 'Prairiewood Forest School' will also go toward student scholarships!
Volunteer with us
We have many garden, grounds, and event volunteer opportunities, and are always grateful for helping hands! We host volunteer days at least once a month. They are always a good time and usually followed by a potluck meal.
