Nonprofits were notified on May 13 of finalist selections as determined by Grant Review Committees (GRCs). Finalists will present their stories to Impact Austin membership by video. In addition, members will receive supporting materials to assist in the voting process. Membership vote will be open May 24 - June 1.
Vote outcomes will be announced June 7 at the virtual Annual Meeting 2021!
Community and Education GRCs reviewed a total of 80 applications for spring funding. Of these, 12 were selected for deep-dive review, and then six were identified as semi-finalists. Virtual site visits with semi-finalists occurred between April 30 - May 2 and led to the determination of grant finalists. Impact Austin thanks our 71 members for serving on the GRCs, which began work in February.
The Center for Survivors of Torture was selected by Girls Giving Grants (g3) as its 2021 Community Partner. More information about g3 and their $7,600 award is on our blog.
