LCRA ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS IN JANUARY FOR COMMUNITY GRANTS

The Lower Colorado River Authority will accept applications in January for community grants of up to $50,000. Eligible projects include improvements to fire stations, community centers, sports fields, libraries and other facilities, as well as providing updated gear and equipment for emergency responders.
LCRA awards Community Development Partnership Program grants twice a year to nonprofits such as volunteer fire departments, emergency responders, local governments, schools, libraries, civic groups, museums and other tax-exempt nonprofit organizations. The grants are not available to individuals, for-profit entities, professional associations, social service projects or limited-use facilities.
Applications for the next round of grants beginning Jan. 1 and must be submitted by midnight Jan. 31. Most grants are for $25,000 or less, but several grants of up to $50,000 are awarded every grant cycle.
