2025 Community Improvement Grant Program Applications Open August 29

The Memorial Hospital Authority is pleased to announce the opening of the Community Improvement Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2025–26. Grant applications will be available beginning Friday, August 29, 2025. Completed applications must be submitted by 5:30 p.m. on Monday, November 3, 2025.

The purpose of the Midwest City Community Improvement Grant Program is to fund effective projects that improve quality of life, address a diverse range of issues and create opportunities in the Midwest City community. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate that they have identified an existing or potential community need and have developed a reasonable, cost-efficient plan to address it.

The program accepts applications from registered not-for-profit (501(c)) organizations and governmental entities. Grant funds are limited to non-recurring expenses and cannot be used to replace or take the place of any regularly budgeted operating expenses. Also, the grants cannot fund personal project needs such as maintenance, supplies, salaries or general operating costs.

Recently approved projects include the installation of sophisticated AED stations in public sports facilities, storm shelter installations for Mid-Del Group Homes, VFW building renovations for Post 7192 and several projects benefitting Midwest City youth. These are just a few of the numerous applications that have benefitted from the program. 

Since 1998, more than 465 grants have been awarded, totaling nearly $10.5 million dollars of community investment.
