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.
