Dream spread
Receive up to $10,000 to relocate to Tulsa while keeping your remote job — lower cost of living, arts, food, & a growing remote-worker community.

This is NOT a visa or residency shortcut. You must have lived outside Oklahoma for 12+ months, hold a qualifying remote job, relocate within 12 months of acceptance, stay at least one year, & accept staged payouts — not a single upfront check.
