Impact Austin's Community and Education Grant Review Committees (GRCs) have continued the spring funding process. First they narrowed the application pool from 74 total requests to 12 meriting deep-dive review in subcommittees. Earlier this week both GRCs selected three nonprofits each for site visits. Questions raised in subcommittee review will make site visits productive.
Congratulations to these six nonprofits moving forward to site visits:
