Color
Oklahoma Matching Grant Winners
2008
Once
again, Color Oklahoma received excellent applications for
our matching grant program. The City of Weatherford, the
Delaware Nation at Anadarko, a Tulsa couple and the City
of Enid are the 2008 winners and will receive matching
grants for wildflowers to be planted on sites they
selected.
This
is the second year the City of Weatherford has been
selected for a matching grant. This year’s match is $500
for $1,000 in seeds to be sown at Exit 80 of I-40.
The
site for the Delaware Nation’s wildflower project is on
the side of Highway 281, 2 ½ miles north of Anadarko near
one of it’s casinos. Color Oklahoma and the Delaware
National are each providing $311 for seeds.
The
Tulsa site, with a total of $1,000 for seeds, is at the
I-44/Broken Arrow Expressway interchange.
In
Enid, the sites are along Highway 412 at the east entrance
to Enid and Highway 81 at the south entrance. Color
Oklahoma is providing a $500 match and local groups will
add $460.
Color
Oklahoma will order the seeds and coordinate planting with
the state Department of Transportation for sowing at
Weatherford, Anadarko and Tulsa in October. Because
the site chosen by the City of Enid is maintained by the
city instead of the state, the city will sow the seeds.
Grants
are awarded annually. Next year’s application deadline
is May 15. Eligible applicants include nonprofit groups,
businesses, schools and universities, individuals, Indian
Nations, civic groups and governmental entities. Grants
can be used for the purchase of native wildflower seeds
only.
