About us

Find the Tulsa that’s Right for You

As our city goes through rapid growth and change, we’re helping current and future residents connect with all it has to offer.

You Need to Experience it Yourself

Experience Tulsa helps all Tulsans find a strong, meaningful connection to their community through a dynamic portfolio of programs, strategic initiatives, immersive city visits and community-driven experiences. Our programs help new and longtime Tulsans discover opportunity, feel a sense of belonging and imagine what’s possible here at home.

City Vibrancy Programs

These programs are part of the George Kaiser Family Foundation's commitment to building a robust economy that nurtures talent, drives prosperity and creates opportunities for everyone. Visit GKFF.org to learn more.

How We’re Showing Up for You

We help Tulsans see the vibrancy of our city by fostering connection and inclusivity. Our immersive city visits and curated events highlight the opportunities and experiences that make our city accessible and easy to fall in love with.

Helping Tulsans Rediscover Their City

Tulsa is seeing rapid growth at an accelerated pace. We’re helping longtime Tulsans gain access to opportunities that help them have an impact in their community. Through curated events, residents can keep up with the pace of change and ensure they’re getting the most out of the city they call home.

We Build the Future of Tulsa, Together

Opportunity knocks every day in Tulsa. In a city where you’re only two degrees removed from changemakers, it’s easy to get involved and influence lasting change. We’re helping Tulsans connect and find their way toward meaningful action.
