The Choctaw Nation awarded the city of Stigler $12,500 and Haskell County $7,100 from the Choctaw Community Partner Fund to continue strengthening and developing the local area.
The Choctaw Community Partner Fund gives voluntary quarterly contributions to cities and counties where non-gaming businesses throughout the Nation's territories are located. The expectation is for each local government to apply the Choctaw Community Partner Fund contribution toward supporting and developing the communities which serve tribal and non-tribal citizens.
The Choctaw Community Partner Fund has been an ongoing effort for the last four years. Over this period the Choctaw Nation has contributed a combined total of $227,350 to the city of Stigler and Haskell County.
The Choctaw Community Partner Fund began in 2019 and has put back more than $7.6 million into southeastern Oklahoma communities.
