Austin American-Statesman
Grants to address inequities, violence
The city of Austin’s equity office is accepting applications from the community for two new grant funding opportunities to address inequities and to prevent violence.
The Immigrant Integration Grant fund is focused on eliminating structural barriers and improving the quality of life for the city’s immigrant communities. The Equity Mini-Grant Fund seeks to help the city pilot new, community-centered approaches to safety and violence prevention.
The city will distribute a total of $350,000 through the new grant programs. Organizations are encouraged to apply by July 30. Funds will be awarded by the end of September.
