11 Nonprofit Organizations Making a Difference in CTX: A Deep Dive Review of Grant Applications


Impact Austin's spring grant cycle is well under way, with 11 organizations selected for deep-dive review by the Community and Education Grant Review Committees (GRCs). In June, Impact Austin will award four grants across two focus areas totaling $241,200. Within each focus area, the nonprofit receiving the most member votes will receive a grant of $96,500 for the purpose outlined in its proposal. The second nonprofit in each focus area will receive an unrestricted award of $24,100.


Thank you to Anne Helmick-Lyon and Jerrica Deloney Witte, our GRC Coordinators. Impact Austin's Grant Finance Committee (GFC) is led by Barbara Hambleton, Lauren Lewis, and Coordinator Margaret Ballinger.

In late April, each GRC will meet again to select their two finalists for vote by the Impact Austin membership. Voting begins on May 17, and grants will be awarded at Impact Austin's Annual Meeting on June 10, 2024.
