A Note from Our Founder

The OX KOI & TEAL (OKT) Foundation was born from a simple but radical observation: the most powerful tool for human advancement—business—has too often been separated from our most pressing social and environmental needs. For decades, we have looked to charity to heal wounds and business to generate wealth, often at the expense of one another. We believe there is a better way.

 Our foundation was built to prove that when you empower an underrepresented entrepreneur, you don't just create a job—you solve a local food crisis. When you invest in a youth’s education through a business lens, you don't just provide entrepreneurial literacy—you build a bridge out of poverty for an entire generation. 

We are not just looking for donors, sponsors, partners and impact investors; we are looking for visionaries who believe that economic opportunity is the ultimate catalyst for well-being. Together, we are turning the tide on depletion and distress, replacing them with a legacy of purpose and self-sufficiency. 

With gratitude and purpose,

Milton R. Robinson, The OKT Foundation
