The fourth annual Oklahoma Nonprofit Excellence Awards came and went and when the dust settled, a new winner emerged: The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. The popular museum was named the overall winner, and was given a $10,000 prize at the banquet gala in Tulsa, OK.
The Cowboy Museum was not the only nonprofit to win some cash, however. In total, there were nine award categories, and the two finalists in each category received $5,000 each. Here are the finalists for these categories (thanks to NewsOK for the list):
