Today, the Hill Country Alliance (HCA) opened the submission period for applicants seeking financial assistance in night sky preservation work across the Texas Hill Country region. 

The Hill Country Alliance Night Sky Preservation Fund aims to support locally-led work to improve outdoor lighting, decrease wasted energy costs, and to reduce light pollution and its negative effects.

Thanks to the generous support of the Coypu Foundation, HCA’s Night Sky Program is excited to roll out this new funding opportunity for regional nonprofit organizations, sole proprietorships, local governmental entities, and small businesses interested in protecting their views of the starry night sky.
