Impact Austin's Grant Review Committees (GRCs) identified three finalists each for fall funding. Six organizations total will advance to site visits in October.
Equity GRC - Equity Grants invest in equity for women and/or girls of color. The 18 member-volunteers of the Equity GRC evaluated a pool of 16 applications and identified five for deep-dive review. From that process, these three were voted to advance to the site visit phase.
Friends of the Children Austin - Friends Austin Literacy and Educational Equity
Latinitas - Pipeline Latinitas: Equity for All Ages
Todos Juntos Learning Center - Adult Education to End the Cycle of Poverty for Austin Immigrants
Health & Well-Being GRC - Health & Well-Being grants are intended to strengthen and enhance the lives of children and families, or positively impact the mental or physical health and wellness of people. The 27 GRC member-volunteers examined 50 applications, naming six for deep-dive review in September. From that process, the following three initiatives were voted to move forward to the site visit phase.
CASA of Travis County - Bridge to Permanency
The Charlie Center - The Charlie Expansion Project
Keep Austin Fed - Food Recovery & Redistribution Hub
