Helping Neighborhoods Grow

Green spaces, parks and trees are essential for healthy communities. Outdoor projects purify the air and water, creating opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family. In FY22, the Oklahoma City Community

Foundation’s Parks & Public Spaces Initiative and the Margaret Annis Boys Trust granted more than $175,000 to enhance and beautify public areas throughout our community and fund OCCF’s ReLeaf and Rebloom initiatives.

This year alone, through ReLeaf and ReBloom, OCCF partnered with neighborhoods, schools, nonprofits and local government agencies to plant 70,000 spring bulbs and 315 trees in neighborhoods and parks in the OKC metro.

Sprucing Up the Metro

The Foundation’s Parks & Public Spaces Initiative has invested more than $4.5 million into our community over the past 20 years. This initiative increases the tree canopy, improves air quality, provides shade and helps lower temperatures, which benefits everyone.
