Description
The Oklahoma Florists’ Education Fund, administered by the American Floral Endowment, provides annual grants to support the ongoing education and professional development of florists across Oklahoma. Established in 2025 with funds previously managed by the Oklahoma State Florists’ Association, this program aims to help retail and wholesale florists, shop employees, and students access meaningful educational opportunities. Grants can be used for tuition, attending industry events, bringing in outside professionals for training, and participating in seminars or workshops, both within Oklahoma and nationally. The fund is designed to help the state’s floral community adapt and thrive in a changing marketplace.
