LCRA ACCEPTING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS

  

The Lower Colorado River Authority has announced that it is accepting applications for up to $50,000 for community projects in its service area.

Applications for Community Development Partnership Program grants are available on the LCRA’s website at lcra.org/cdpp and are due by January 31st.  Last year LCRA and its wholesale electric customers awarded over 1600 community grants totaling more than $43 million.  When combined with more than $223 million in community-raised matching funds, the program has invested almost $267 million in local communities.

The LCRA grants are used for a variety of things like new breathing equipment for firefighters, new air conditioning units for community centers, and new playscapes for parks.  Eligible organizations include volunteer fire departments, emergency responders, local governments, schools, libraries, civic groups, museums and other nonprofit organizations.
