Oklahoma nonprofit gets $700K in grant money for building project
The Community Development Support Association is trying to raise $2.9 million for Smart Start Early Childhood Development Center, a nonprofit learning center for Enid, Oklahoma’s underprivileged children. Two recent donations totaling $700K will go a long way toward meeting that goal. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a Brownfields Cleanup Grant of $200,000 to remove asbestos and lead-based paint from the building slated to house the center. The other $500,000 comes from the Inasmuch Foundation, an organization that issues grants for education, health and human services, the arts, historic preservation, strengthening the nonprofit sector and preservation of the natural environment. The center will focus on early education for pre-kindergarten age children.
