Impact Austin 2020 Grant Review Committees (GRCs)
In 2020, Impact Austin will award four high-impact grants of $100,000 each in these categories: Community, Education, Health and Well-Being, and Catalyst. We invite you to join a GRC and experience grantmaking firsthand!
What is a GRC?
GRCs review and evaluate grant applications using a rigorous process.
GRCs select finalists for voting by the Impact Austin membership at large.
There are four GRCs, with approximately 25 Impact Austin members per team, led by experienced members in co-chair and advisor roles.
Participation is open to all members with dues paid by December 31, 2019.
GRCs have four in-person meetings, three online trainings, three site visits, and individual research, subcommittee review and report writing.
Total time commitment ranges from 25-40 hours from January through May 2020.
Why join a GRC?
Actively participate in the grant giving process.
