Impact Austin's youth initiative Girls Giving Grants (g3) has awarded collective giving grants since 2006. To date, g3 has contributed $124,100 through 20 grants to 18 nonprofits, making a tangible difference in the lives of countless youth in Greater Austin. Learn more here.
Grant Review Process to Date
The current g3 class includes 59 members who have each contributed $125 toward their giving circle's 2025 grant that will total $6,500. After initial meetings that included team-building, application review training, ethics and D.E.I.B. training, plus awareness of community needs, the g3 class launched grant review on November 10. In January, they named five semi-finalist organizations for deep-dive review by each Application Review Committee (ARC). That process led to naming their 2025 grant finalists.
Congratulations to these nonprofits moving forward:
Free mobile dental care for kids in Central Texas
Empowers women and children to move from homelessness to healthy, independent lives

April 5 - Site visits take place, and members vote electronically for their 2025 awardee.
April 15 - Virtual voting closes
April 27 - g3 announces the recipient of their $6,500 grant
June 9 - g3 members join Impact Austin members at the Annual Meeting for a formal check presentation.
