Choctaw Nation awards more than $11,500 to Stigler, county

The Choctaw Nation awarded the city of Stigler $8,200 and Haskell County $4,700 from the Choctaw Community Partner Fund to continue to help strengthen and develop the local area. The Choctaw Community Partner Fund contributions continue on a quarterly basis to cities and counties that host non-gaming businesses throughout the Nation’s territories.

The expectation is for each local government to apply the Choctaw Community Partner Fund contribution toward supporting and developing the communities that serve tribal and non-tribal citizens. This is the ninth voluntary contribution from the Choctaw Nation, for a combined total of $103,950 to the city of Stigler and Haskell County.

The Choctaw Community Partner Fund began in 2019 and has put back more than $3 million into southeastern Oklahoma communities.
