As part of Tulsa’s COVID-19 Recovery Plan, city leaders approved approximately $6.5 million in relief grants to nonprofit organizations that provide direct services to city residents. Since many local nonprofits identified issues that community members faced during the pandemic, the city wanted to fund targeted projects so that these nonprofits could address those issues. Many nonprofit organizations that participated in the city’s COVID-19 Relief Grant Program developed projects to support children and youth in various areas including childhood development, mental health, foster child advocacy, nutrition education, out-of-school time programs, and sports and arts clinics, among others.
