Choctaw Nation awards funds to Stigler, Haskell County

The Choctaw Nation awarded the City of Stigler $11,300 and Haskell County $6,400 from the Choctaw Community Partner Fund to continue to help strengthen and develop the local area.
The Choctaw Community Partner Fund gives quarterly contributions 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.
The Choctaw Community Partner Fund has been an ongoing effort for the last three years and The Choctaw Nation has contributed a combined total of $170,650 to the City of Stigler and Haskell County.
The Choctaw Community Partner Fund began in 2019 and has put back more than $5 million into southeastern Oklahoma communities.
