Focus Area
LCRA Community Grants support economic diversification in local communities; contribute to the health, safety and development of a community; or improve the quality or quantity of services essential for the development of viable communities and economic growth. The grants are awarded twice a year for capital improvement projects. The projects must benefit or be available to an entire community and must improve the value of a capital asset by building, renovating or purchasing equipment. LCRA Community Grants places emphasis on projects for volunteer fire departments, projects that include public safety lifesaving equipment and/or public education, demonstration components and projects that address needs caused by natural disasters. To celebrate their 30th anniversary, the LCRA is supporting a one-time grant of $100,000 for the January 2026 grant making cycle.
