AUSTIN, Texas — KVUE is excited to announce that it is now accepting grant proposals from local nonprofit organizations that make Austin better.
KVUE will be considering grants with a theme of COVID-19 relief and affordability. This includes nonprofit organizations offering rental assistance to prevent homelessness.
The application deadline is Saturday, Aug. 29.
KVUE is able to award grants in collaboration with the TEGNA Foundation, through its Community Grant program, which serves the greater good of its communities by supporting nonprofit activities where TEGNA does business. TEGNA Inc. is the parent company to KVUE, the ABC affiliate in Austin, Texas, dedicated to "making Austin better."
Grant applications are submitted to KVUE using the application found on the TEGNA Foundation website. The average grant amount is in the $1,000 to $5,000 range.
Applicants will need to email KVUE their grant application form, the proposal, as well as the required attachments.
KVUE reviews all submissions within one month after the deadline. Applicants will be notified whether they were selected around 90 to 120 days after deadlines. Due to the large volume of applications, KVUE will be unable to provide individual feedback.
Please email submissions to HAdeni@kvue.com. Any hard copy applications mailed to the station will not be accepted.
