T-Moblie Hometown Grant

Apply for funding to support a community project, such as revitalizing or repurposing a historic structure, creating a downtown asset or destination, or improving a space where neighbors gather. Projects that enhance a sense of place or could attract further investment are of particular interest.

Applicants must be located in small rural communities with a population of 50,000 people or less.
