The Paint Oklahoma Beautiful program, a Keep Oklahoma Beautiful initiative, is designed to empower community organizations and volunteers to rejuvenate unsightly buildings within their localities. This program aligns with the foundation's mission by fostering community engagement, promoting civic pride, and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of Oklahoma's communities through the creative and resourceful renovation of structures. The target beneficiaries of this program are groups and organizations located in Oklahoma that are dedicated to improving their communities. The program aims to encourage volunteerism and provide resources for community-led beautification projects. Impact goals include fostering a sense of ownership among residents, improving the visual landscape of towns and cities, and creating more inviting public spaces. The program prioritizes projects that utilize the provided 5-gallon pails of paint for renovation, with an option for a primer stipend if needed. Eligible projects encompass a wide range of community structures, such as downtown buildings, schools, community centers, playground equipment, fences, and walls. For safety, projects must avoid heavy traffic areas, highways, and streets. The program focuses on encouraging broad participation, while also offering a contest for those who adhere strictly to the provided paint. Expected outcomes include a measurable increase in the number of renovated community structures and a heightened sense of community spirit. Measurable results are demonstrated through the "Communities Primed for Change" contest, which awards prizes for first, second, and third place, with prizes of $1000, $750, and $500 respectively. This incentivizes participants to complete projects using only the provided paint and the structure included in their application, reinforcing the program's strategic priority of resource-efficient community improvement.

The Oklahoma Office of the Attorney General is currently accepting applications for the 2025 Safe Oklahoma Grant Program. Established in 2012, this program is funded by an annual appropriation from the state legislature and aims to provide local law enforcement agencies and sheriff's offices with additional resources to address violent crime across Oklahoma. The program's core mission aligns with public safety and crime reduction within the state, directly supporting the Attorney General's efforts to ensure safer communities. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are local law enforcement agencies and sheriff's offices throughout all counties in Oklahoma. The impact goal is to decrease violent crime within their respective jurisdictions. This is achieved by offering resources that help cover overtime costs for officers, fund technology upgrades, enhance analytical capabilities, and support community partnership projects focused on preventing youth violent crime. The grant's duration is one year, from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, allowing for focused, short-term interventions and improvements. The grant program prioritizes several strategies for decreasing violent crime, as outlined in 74 O.S. § 20k(B)(1)-(5). These include focusing on intervention and enforcement through increased staffing resources with overtime funds for evidence-driven approaches like directed patrols and "hot spot" policing; increasing technological capacity with purchases such as crime-mapping software and GPS technology; enhancing analytical capabilities for crime trend analysis and data-driven strategies; engaging with community partners to develop projects preventing violent crime, including drug enforcement and youth violence programs; and increasing direct services to crime victims by improving accessibility and awareness of support. The expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in violent crime within the participating jurisdictions. By funding increased patrols, technology upgrades, and improved analytical and community engagement efforts, the program anticipates a direct positive impact on community safety. The theory of change behind the Safe Oklahoma Grant Program is that by providing targeted financial resources to local law enforcement, these agencies can implement specific, data-driven strategies and foster community partnerships that will effectively deter and reduce violent crime, ultimately leading to safer communities across Oklahoma.
