Grants of up to $15,000 will be awarded to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations serving communities with populations of 50,000 or fewer. Preference will be given to community-based organizations rooted in these towns and regions, with priority consideration for projects focused on mental health and homelessness—two of the most pressing issues facing Oklahoma’s rural communities today.
While nonprofits based anywhere in Oklahoma may apply, the strongest consideration will be given to organizations located within and directly serving eligible communities.
