DTP Launches Two New Grant Programs for Downtown Businesses & Properties

Downtown Tulsa Partnership’s matching grants help property owners and businesses improve storefronts, prepare vacant commercial spaces for tenants, and address waste infrastructure needs.

Two new grants will be available to qualifying Downtown business and property owners. Interested applicants can learn more and submit a pre-application at downtowntulsa.com/grants.

Façade + White Box Matching Grant:

Funding supports publicly visible façade improvements and interior work that delivers an occupancy-ready space or a base-building shell ready for tenant improvements. White Box funding is limited to retail and other eligible customer-facing commercial uses.

Grant funding: 50% of approved eligible costs, with a $10,000 minimum award and maximum awards of:

- $40,000 for façade improvements.

- $40,000 for White Box improvements.

- $60,000 for combined projects.

Waste Infrastructure Matching Grant

Funding supports permanent dumpster enclosures, commercial compactors, and shared waste facilities that reduce litter, odors, pests, and obstructions. Applicants must demonstrate permission to use the installation site and confirm that their waste hauler can service the proposed improvements.

Grant funding: 50% of approved eligible costs, up to:

- $3,000 for a permanent dumpster enclosure.

- $5,000 for a commercial compactor.

- $7,500 for a combined or shared system serving multiple businesses or properties.

Awards are subject to available funding and DTP approval. Interested recipients can learn more and apply at downtowntulsa.com/grants.
