PLANFIRST GRANT

SPONSORED BY BANCFIRST

Preservation Oklahoma, Inc. administers the PlanFirst Grant program in partnership with BancFirst. PlanFirst grants encourage a thoughtful planning process for undertaking a preservation project, funding work such as structural engineer’s reports, architectural plans for restoration or feasibility studies. Generously funded by BancFirst, each grant will provide a dollar-for-dollar match of up to $1,500.00 for projects in communities served by BancFirst.

BancFirst has recently donated an additional $10,000 to Preservation Oklahoma to continue funding the PlanFirst Grant Program. This program, started in 2007, underscores the bank’s continued loyalty and commitment to helping Oklahoma’s communities grow and prosper. Recognizing the importance of the initial planning phase of preservation projects, this grant program will focus on PLANNING INITIATIVES ONLY. Examples of eligible projects could include architectural planning documents, condition assessments and/or fundraising plans.

BancFirst’s partnership with Preservation Oklahoma seeks to increase public awareness of the importance of historic preservation in Oklahoma, and strengthen local communities through preservation efforts.

BancFirst is Oklahoma's largest state-chartered bank with more than 100 service locations in 60 Oklahoma communities. For further information, contact Heather Sumner, Preservation Oklahoma’s Executive Director, at 405.525.5325 or director@preservationok.org.
