Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Simple Modern, which exists to give generously, will disperse more than $1.8 million to nearly 75 nonprofits throughout the 2026 grant cycle, which will push total monetary and in-kind donations from the company to more than $15 million since the company’s founding in 2015.
The investment supports organizations addressing critical needs including clean water access, education, human trafficking prevention and homelessness.
“We exist to give generously, and we want that generosity to have a meaningful impact,” said Mike Beckham, Simple Modern co-founder and CEO. “These partnerships represent real people, real needs and real impact. We’re grateful to support organizations doing the hard, meaningful work of bringing hope and opportunity to their communities.”
In addition to corporate giving, every Simple Modern employee receives an annual allocation to direct to a nonprofit of their choice. In 2026, employee-directed giving represents 10% of total contributions and supports nearly 50 additional organizations.
Giving Priorities
Simple Modern focuses on five key areas of giving to determine which agencies to partner with each year. The company’s giving is centered around these broad giving pillars: nonprofits focused on providing clean drinking water, furthering education, supporting marginalized communities, stopping human trafficking and addressing homelessness.
Through these partnerships, nonprofits will deliver measurable impact in 2026, including:
- 6,560 people will gain access to safe water through Simple Modern’s investment in Water4’s NUMA utilities.
- 580 children intercepted before trafficking via Love Justice Kenya.
- 7,700 infant feedings and 32,000 diapers provided via Infant Crisis Services.
The majority of Simple Modern’s giving remains local, with 59% supporting Oklahoma-based organizations. An additional 10% supports national nonprofits, 21% supports international organizations and 10% is directed by employees to nonprofits of their choice.
