And then there were six.
The 71 members of Impact Austin's spring Grant Review Committees (GRCs) performed initial review of 80 total applications (42 in Education and 38 for the Community Grant), and then reserved 12 for sub-committee review. Now three of the six applicants in each category will advance to virtual site visits during April 29-May 1.
We thank all applicants for participating in our spring grant review process. We especially thank them for the transformative work they are doing in our communities. Congratulations to these area nonprofits that have progressed to the site visit stage of review:
