The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is set to accept applications for its Community Development Partnership Program grants beginning Jan. 1. The program offers financial support of up to $50,000 for nonprofit organizations and first responders working on projects that enhance community infrastructure or provide essential equipment.
Eligible projects include improvements to fire stations, community centers, sports fields, libraries and similar facilities as well as purchases of updated gear and equipment for emergency services.
The grants, awarded twice annually, are available to tax-exempt organizations such as volunteer fire departments, emergency responders, local governments, schools, libraries, civic groups and museums. However, individuals, for-profit entities, professional associations, social service projects and limited-use facilities are not eligible.
