Pokes With a Purpose
Pokes With a Purpose is a third-party entity not affiliated with Oklahoma State University. The organization's mission is to create and develop NIL opportunities for Oklahoma State student-athletes in cooperation with Oklahoma non-profit partners. Pokes With a Purpose matches student-athletes with a partner of their choosing, allowing them to connect with causes they truly believe in. These partnerships allow Oklahoma State student-athletes to showcase their community service efforts for future employers and leverage NIL policies to promote growth, enhanced opportunities, and financial benefits. As a 501(c)3 entity, Pokes With a Purpose also allows donors to give back to the community with a fully tax-deductible donation, while also supporting student-athletes.

Oklahoma State is a family that believes in taking care of our community. Pairing student-athletes with local charities allows us to support student-athletes while also giving back to the community. Our carefully cultivated list of non-profit partners is intended to provide a direct impact to those in need in Stillwater and surrounding communities. Athletes volunteering not only make an impact in those organizations, but also bring media exposure that can help those organizations solicit much-needed funding.
