About the Frank Phillips Foundation

A 501(C)(3) OPERATING FOUNDATION

The Frank Phillips Foundation, Inc. was founded in 1937 by oilman Frank Phillips and his wife Jane Phillips. In 1944, Frank and Jane Phillips donated all of their personal ownership of Woolaroc (grounds, facilities, animals, collections and art) to the Foundation to assure the operation and preservation of it. At that time it was determined that the primary purpose of the Foundation was to assure the operation and the preservation of Woolaroc. In December of 2017, the Oklahoma Historical Society bestowed ownership and management of the Frank Phillips Home to the Foundation. Today the mission of the Frank Phillips Foundation is to preserve the history of the West, educate and entertain. Both Woolaroc and Frank Phillips Home are dedicated to that mission.

Kevin Hoch serves as CEO of the Frank Phillips Foundation and is the operating officer of Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve.
