Atoka approves $8,098 in donations to five local nonprofits
Summary
The board approved requested donations totaling approximately $8,098 to five local nonprofits (Foster Gift, Boy Scouts, Mumford High School Band Boosters, CASA Tipton County, Tipton County Carl Perkins Center) with the understanding funds will be disbursed after July 1 and are contingent on final budget adoption.
Atoka’s board approved donations to five community organizations during its May 13 meeting.
Presenters described how funds would be used: Foster Gift provides immediate-care kits and transitional supports for children entering foster care; the Boy Scouts requested $1,500 for program materials and camps; Mumford High School Band Boosters sought funds to offset student fees and purchase microphones for a planned national competition trip; CASA Tipton County and the Tipton County Carl Perkins Center described programs that support children and families facing abuse or other crises. Representatives highlighted countywide service footprints and staffing, and noted many services are provided free of charge to families.
Staff and board members confirmed that total requests (about $8,098) fit just under the board’s proposed donations budget for the upcoming fiscal year; recipients were told distributions typically occur after July 1 once the budget is adopted.
