Our Mission

The Oklahoma Ramps Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit community-based organization that brings together volunteers to 'Build independence for those in Need'. Project volunteers build wheelchair ramps for the low-income disabled. The Ramps Project got its start in Texas thirty years ago. In 2011, it was adopted by the Kiwanis Club of South Oklahoma City. According to Michael Starega, Oklahoma Founder and project manager: “We're in partnership with the Texas Ramp Project, local and national civics organizations, national and local businesses, and others. Currently, we're in the Oklahoma City and Tulsa areas. However, our goal is to spread to cities and towns across the state."

The Oklahoma Ramps Project is a volunteer-staffed, 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-denominational, non-governmental organization. We rely on individuals, foundations, congregations, civic organizations, and corporate partners to provide the funding, materials, and facilities for our work.

The Oklahoma Ramps Project helps satisfy the need for quality wheelchair ramps. Our ramps are constructed following an on-site survey using a modular design to ensure compliance with ADA specifications. The ramp is truly a gift fully funded by donations. There is NO cost to the client. Family members and friends are encouraged to help during construction.

If you or someone you know needs the gift of independence, have a health care professional or social service agency contact If you are interested in volunteering, want to make a donation, or have an organization that is interested in becoming part of the Oklahoma Ramps Project, please contact us.
