The City of Austin Economic Development Department is reopening the Austin Non-Profit Relief Grant on September 21, 2020 to reach additional non-profits facing hardship due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have revised eligibility to ensure grant guidelines accommodate more non-profit organizations. The Austin Non-Profit Relief Grant has a remaining $2.4 million fund providing up to $20,000 grants to Austin’s non-profit community toward reimbursement of eligible expenses including rent, payroll, and other economic needs.
The Austin City Council approved Resolution No. 20200507-023 on May 7, 2020 to provide $6 million for the Austin Non-Profit Relief Grant (ANCHOR – Austin Nonprofit and Civic Health Organizations Relief).
