Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International’s 2010 annual report says Parry-Okeden made an unrestricted gift in July 2009 and permitted part of it to support fundraising for undesignated global initiatives. The report also lists her among its donors of $1 million or more for the fiscal year.

Trailsend Foundation public filing
The fiscal-year 2024 Form 990-PF information displayed by ProPublica lists Blair Parry-Okeden as president and trustee of the Trailsend Foundation, with no compensation reported for that role. The filing was submitted November 11, 2025.
This governance record does not justify attributing every foundation grant to her personally. The site therefore reports the role and the foundation’s aggregate public filing, not personal motives or sole decision-making.

Cox Enterprises’ sustainability programs, the James M. Cox Foundation, and donations by other family members are separate records. They are not presented here as Blair Parry-Okeden’s personal philanthropy.
