ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Investing Directly in Educators

Oklahoma Central Foundation supports students, educators, and community partners through education, financial literacy, and community-focused programs.

10 Teachers 10 Days is one way the Foundation invests directly in educators. Each selected teacher will receive $1,000 to use for classroom needs, student resources, or a project that benefits their students.

Parents, students, grandparents, coworkers, school leaders, Oklahoma Central Credit Union members, community members, and teachers are all invited to submit nominations. Self-nominations are welcome.
