LCRA Now Offers Grants of Up To $100,000 Twice a Year

Start Applying July 1

LCRA’s Board of Directors has made $100,000 grants a standing feature of LCRA’s Community Grants program, adding one to each of the two annual grant cycles beginning this July.

Apply Starting July 1

Applications for the next cycle will be available at lcra.org/grants beginning July 1 and are due by midnight July 31. Strong applications take time, so start early. One $100,000 grant is now available alongside grants of up to $50,000.

Eligible organizations include volunteer fire departments, emergency responders, libraries, civic groups, museums and other tax-exempt nonprofits, as well as local governments, schools and hospitals. Projects must be located within LCRA’s service areas. Projects must improve the value of a capital asset by building, renovating or purchasing equipment, and must benefit an entire community, such as renovations to community meeting halls and fire stations, playground improvements and life-saving equipment for first responders.

Applicants requesting more than $5,000 in grant funding must supply matching funds of at least 20% of the total project cost. Additional program information is available at lcra.org/grants.
