Governor Stitt established the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) in 2024. The office was created to connect and recognize the efforts and resources of faith-based and community partners throughout Oklahoma.

Faith-based and community organizations throughout Oklahoma can use this office as a one-stop-shop for meeting local needs and connecting with five state agencies to better navigate state programs. OFBCI will highlight these partnerships and the amazing work they do every day in their local community. Our goal is to connect faith-based organizations with resources across the state and to recognize that we are stronger when we work together. 

Be A Neighbor (BAN) is an initiative Governor Stitt established in February 2020. It is the place where partner resource information comes together. BAN helps to promote resources from faith-based, non-profit, and community organizations to Oklahomans across the state.

“Neighbor” organizations are encouraged to register for free with BAN to share resources and opportunities available within their local communities. Community members can then search the site for nearby resources or services. Be A Neighbor is dedicated to the mission of neighbors helping neighbors.
