The MFA Oil Foundation awarded a grant to the Geary County Historical Society and Museums to assist with purchasing induction stove tops, pots, pans, sieves, tongs, seals, and jars for Homesteading 101 classes. The MFA Oil Foundation provides support to nonprofit organizations that are working to improve communities where MFA Oil has a significant concentration of members and employees. Since it was established in 1998, the MFA Oil Foundation has awarded more than three million dollars in grants. 

MFA Oil Senior Director of Employee Engagement and Culture, Tom May, described the MFA Oil Foundation as "a program that allows our company to give support back to the rural communities that are the foundation of our business. The grants the Foundation awards help support many youth programs and organizations active in addressing and solving community problems and improving the quality of life."
