AUSTIN — Following unprecedented engagement and with applications at an all-time high, 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 application cycles beginning in July. The new tier joins existing grants of up to $50,000.

Thirty years in with a bigger commitment The change marks the end of the program’s 30th year, during which LCRA awarded two $100,000 grants and 80 grants of up to $50,000. The first two $100,000 grants went to organizations for substantial projects that outpaced the previous $50,000 grant cap.
